Description jonas.harer 2025-11-26 19:58:25 UTC 
SUMMARY
DigiKam does save some Information, like detected faces, in the topic exif-tag (I don't know how it is exactly called, Dolphin displays it as "Thema"). However, this information is not indexed by Baloo, which prevents usecases like "search for images with this person".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add the tag to an image in a location indexed by Baloo
2. Search for something included in the topic added

OBSERVED RESULT
The image does not appear in the results; Images that have an artist matching the term do appear.

EXPECTED RESULT
They should be indexed and appear in the results.
