I open dolfin show a folder containing some files I wanna find if I search for filenames containing "don" with "everywhere options" dolfin shows all teses files including the files I'm looking for in the current folder. If I do the same search but specifying "from here", dolfin show an empty result, as if nothing was found.
I have restarted baloo with balooctl restart, and no change, still no results found in "from here" search $ balooctl restart $ org.kde.baloo: "/home/pascal" org.kde.baloo: "/mnt/pc" Power state changed $ balooctl status Baloo File Indexer is running Indexer state: Inactif Indexed 440522 / 440522 files Current size of index is 15,17 Gio
Created attachment 105600 [details] "From Here" option is not working. In the uploaded screen shot, here is /home/Common/pyPacks, yet as one can see, Dolphin is finding files in /usr/lib/python2.7/encodings.
BTW, I am using Dolphin 4.13.3, via kubuntu 14.04 (I am back to 14.04 because the kate & kwrite that come with 16.04 require at least a 4 core CPU to work acceptably on large files -- large files are not a problem with the kate & kwrite that come with 14.04. Yes there is a posted bug for this problem, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378579 To solve my problem quickly, it was easier for me to revert to 14.04, and assemble 4 core CPU desktop systems & acquire 4 core CPU laptops at my leisure.)
This bug exists for me as well, in dolphin 16.12.3 and 17.04.3. One note: The submitter said he got no results for "From Here". My behavior is different, the same as the other commenter: the same search results are returned, whether "From Here" or "Everywhere" is selected. System is gentoo; all package versions are: kde-apps/dolphin-16.12.3:5 kde-apps/kio-extras-16.12.3-r1:5 kde-apps/baloo-widgets-16.12.3:5 kde-frameworks/baloo-5.34.0 The bug also affects: kde-apps/dolphin-17.04.3 kde-apps/baloo-widgets-17.04.3 kde-apps/kio-extras-17.04.3 kde-frameworks/baloo-5.34.0 (An update to baloo is in unstable (kde-frameworks/baloo-5.36), but I can't test that at the moment.) It's important to note that this isn't dolphin's fault: it's a problem with baloo. Someone already filed bug 378884 ("baloosearch doesn't respect --directory parameter") under frameworks-baloo. You can test this w/ a command like: baloosearch filename:some_filename --directory some_directory/ The --directory parameter is just ignored, and returns results for the entire system.
yes the culprit is baloosearch you are true. I'll change the bug product/component. For me as of latest kubuntu ppa the bug is still here and manifest as extra lines listed from other directories outside the directory tree requested by the --directory option specified.

I have the same bug as the reporter, where I get results when "everywhere" is selected and none when "from here" is selected. I'm using KDE Neon, dolphin 17.12.1 and baloo 5.42.0.
