SUMMARY When searching for a file/file content in Dolphin, no results are displayed in the "From Here" tab. Results from all folders are displayed when I click "Your files". I have many files and this makes locating a file very tedious. I want to search for files in only the current sub-folder. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin and press Ctrl + F 2. "From Here" is the default location 3. Type a search term. This gives zero results 4. Click "Your files". Hundreds of results are displayed instantly. OBSERVED RESULT No results are displayed when the search location is "From Here". Hundreds of results are displayed when the search location is changed to "Your files" EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin should display search results from the current folder when the search location is "From Here". SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: N/A macOS: N/A Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon User Edition 5.21 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Dell XPS 13 9380 Kernel Version: 5.4.0-66-generic I have tried purging the index with balooctl purge and the problem persists.
