Description Martin Tlustos 2014-05-09 12:33:47 UTC
I couldn't find any documentation on how to use tags, etc. for searching (the same was true for nepomuk), which limits is usefulness.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Vishesh Handa 2014-09-27 10:26:40 UTC
Status Update -

We've added a user visible query language for 5.1. It's only visible via kioslaves for 5.1, but you will be able to perform decently complex queries. Eg -

baloosearch://?query=tag:A OR tagB
baloosearch://?query=artist:Coldplay

I'll close this bug when there is some proper documentation on the userbase.
Comment 2 Alexander Potashev 2016-03-20 14:02:04 UTC
Still no documentation on Baloo kioslaves.
Comment 3 Martin Tlustos 2018-10-08 09:00:09 UTC
Still valid
Comment 4 vini.ipsmaker 2020-07-20 13:31:17 UTC
This page has better documentation for Nepomuk which Baloo inherits design from: https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Nepomuk/QueryingMethods

There is a discussion here which might be worth mining...
