What distro are you using? I see "Arch" in the screenshots but it would nice to know for sure. What happens when you try the command line: $ baloosearch -i 1.txt and then when you try: $ baloosearch -i -d ~/Desktop 1.txt
Yes I use archlinux (base) [firestar@Archlinux Desktop]$ baloosearch -i 1.txt 644d4888feb7 /home/Firestar/C/Windows/System32/config/systemprofile/AppData/Local/Intel/GCC/gcc_svc_log_1.txt ccd73840bf32 /home/Firestar/D/My Documents/Books/Advanced LaTeX In Academia Applications In Research And Education (Marco Öchsner, Andreas Öchsner) (Z-Library).pdf Elapsed: 5.49702 msecs (base) [firestar@Archlinux Desktop]$ baloosearch -i -d ~/Desktop 1.txt Elapsed: 1.55824 msecs PS: does bugs.kde.org support markdown format? how to render code blocks?
OK I seems to know that it is because baloo do not know that I changed my username from Firestar to firestar, although I ran: usermod -l [new_user] [old_user] sudo usermod -d /home/newHomeDir -m newUsername

Is there any file indexer which can index folders real time and not need hours to build a index dataset? I think Windows File Manager can do this.
(In reply to Firestar-Reimu from comment #4) > ... baloo do not know that I changed my username from Firestar to firestar ... No, it probably wouldn't work that out... It would pick up a rename of a folder within your $HOME, but changing your username is probably too much (I will admit I've not tried it...)

If you are happy to search for just the filenames then you don't have to turn on the "Content Indexing". It's the opening, reading, converting to text and indexing each word of each of the files that takes the time. You can follow the indexing as it is happening by running balooctl monitor and you can get a feel for how fast it is going. Baloo does "index in real time" in that if you change a file, it notices and updates the index. It's just that when you want to rebuild the index, it's a lot of work. It looks as if you are indexing your Wine (maybe?) folders, that can include a *load* of files. If you are indexing hidden files and folders, it probably makes sense to exclude the .cache and .local/share/Trash
