Hi there, I would wish for a allow list because I don't want my search cluttered with tons of file extensions I don't need. Maybe this is possible by misusing the exclude list, but from the source code no regular expressions are possible? Best regards
Created attachment 160105 [details] Dolphin search dialog, limiting the search to Documents (In reply to lukasmueller187 from comment #0) > ... I don't want my search cluttered with tons of file extensions I don't need ... You are talking about baloo here? In that case the question is whether you want baloo to index just a subset of file extensions or whether you are happy for it to index everything and be able to limit your search results to "just those few". You know you can search for specific types of files, for example just Documents? There's a drop down list available, see attachment
Thanks for the reply. Dolphin is not the concern here unfortunately, I'm talking especially about Krunner and the start menu (don't know what it is called, when you hit the Meta button). Yep I don't want the index database to be cluttered. My workflow would be e.g. hitting meta -> immediately typing. Or the same with Krunner. When typing just a few words there is usually a lot of mess due to the tons of files in the index. Does this make sense? Regards

Alas Krunner is a bit of a black box for me, I don't know if there are filters you can use in the same way as in Dolphin. I've put a mention of Krunner in the subject and moved this to frameworks-krunner to see if anyone can answer...
I thought the results shown in krunner are the indexed files by baloo and therefore limiting the indexed files results in the wished behavior in krunner. Is this wrong?
(In reply to lukasmueller187 from comment #4) > Is this wrong? I'll happily say I don't know. My gut feeling is apps would make their own minds up about what to show. I seem to remember for example. you don't filename matches shown if the filename has already appeared in the "recent files" list
