Created attachment 145091 [details] Dolphin search duplicate files result SUMMARY *** If I search in /usr/share/icons/breeze-dark for edit I get duplicate results with and without a thumbnail. It's no matter whether indexed or not-indexed folders, activated or deactivated baloo-service. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin, navigate to /usr/share/icons. 2.

(That is, unless you've configured baloo to index more than your home directory). That means Dolphin goes off to try and find results "there and then", running a filenamesearch rather than a baloosearch. The gotscha is filenamesearch follows symlinks (baloo goes out its way to avoid doing this), I'd suggest exploring the breeze-dark folders and see if they contain collections of symlinks. I see that they do on my Fedora system...
Probably a slight twist on "Case 3" in Bug 447119 This uses the example of a symlink under ~/Desktop pointing to ~/Documents but I think it could be the same issue.
I'm assuming the link to the summary is OK, will flag as duplicate *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 447119 ***
Created attachment 145152 [details] duplicate search result in Dolphin I think this error does not matter with symlinks. I am searching in folder /usr/share/breeze-dark for a file document-edit-decrypt-verify.svg. This file has no symlinks in the folder breeze-dark. Also is this folder not indexed. The result of the search can be seen in the attachment. /usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/actions/32/document-edit-decrypt-verify.svg is duplicated. This problem didn't exist in the Dolphin version 21.08.3

I think this error does not matter with symlinks. You might need to look to see if you have symlinks under /usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/actions On my system, there's something of a web: [test@fedora35 actions]$ ls -l total 24 drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 350 Dec 26 15:31 12 drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 69718 Dec 26 15:31 16 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 2 Dec 4 17:55 16@2x -> 16 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 2 Dec 4 17:55 16@3x -> 16 drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 77946 Dec 26 15:31 22 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 2 Dec 4 17:55 22@2x -> 22 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 2 Dec 4 17:55 22@3x -> 22 drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 11204 Dec 26 15:31 32 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 2 Dec 4 17:55 32@2x -> 32 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 2 Dec 4 17:55 32@3x -> 32 drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 414 Dec 26 15:31 48 drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 154 Dec 26 15:31 64 drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 11400 Dec 26 15:31 symbolic I was looking at Fedora 35. If I look at Neon, yes, it looks the same. Imagine that you are starting your search "in" /usr/share/icons/breeze-dark and searching down into each folder in turn, you could quite easily see many copies of document-edit-decrypt-verify.svg > ... This problem didn't exist in the Dolphin version 21.08.3 That's interesting. I've noticed the difference in behaviour (between baloo and "there and then" searches) for a while. The question is... where do I have a 21.08.03 so I can check
