What I tried...

Disable Baloo

Create a folder with a testfile

    mkdir 'folder # one'
    cd 'folder # one'
    echo 'Hello Penguin' > testfile.txt

Open Dolphin and go to the folder:

    Dolphin will show the testfile.txt
    Press Ctrl-F to get the search box, you will see the "From Here (folder # one)'
    Search for 'testfile' as a filename or 'Penguin' as content, you will see the "From Here" change to "From Here (folder )"

Baloo is fine with the folder name, baloosearch finds indexed files and dolphin works when asking baloo for results, it just seems to be the "filenamesearch" that trips up here...

    ... Confirming (in Neon Testing)

I'll just mention since it wasn't outright stated in the bug report: this bug causes the search to fail. I can confirm the bug in the latest version of KDE neon Unstable Edition (Dolphin version: 23.03.70, KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.80, KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0, Qt Version: 5.15.8).
