KInfoCenter should have a section for the file indexer status. It doesn't belong into systemsettings, because looking at a status is no setting.

This sounds reasonable, but I would have never guessed that unfortunately. Still: I would like to see more information such as "files indexed from total".
Christoph is right, but I don't think it would be unreasonable to put that view from KInfoCenter into the System Settings page for Baloo as well. That's where I would go looking for it as well.
I've submitted a patch that adds this feature: https://phabricator.kde.org/D25447
Work started in https://phabricator.kde.org/D25447 - have asked for it to moved to Gitlab.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/427
Git commit ce0c3fead0ec1aa5d8bd6a627bb61db803e83974 by Nate Graham. Committed on 20/04/2021 at 18:57. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [kcms/baloo] Allow monitoring, suspending, and resuming indexing The KCM now allows you to monitor indexing status and pause and resume it. Most of this code is lifted straight from the file indexing monitor InfoCenter KCM, which becomes largely redundant with this, and we could consider removing it.
