AFAIK thats the old KDE SC 4 based indexer, which should not be running at
all.

That is file based desktop search

This is Akonadi indexing.
I am not even sure how you can still have installed Akonadi baloo indexer when
using Qt 5 based Akonadi and to my knowledge meanwhile if you have new qt5/kf5
based kdepim you will also have Qt5 based Akonadi. Maybe there is a breaks/
replaces missing.
I suggest the following:
1) report a bug with reportbug againsd akonadi-server or so, can still be
reassigned. Give all necessary details including dpkg -l | egrep "akonadi|
kdepim" | cut -c-72
Please also provide this output here to this list.
2) make sure akonadi_baloo_indexer is gone for good. something like
apt purge $(which akonadi_baloo_indexer)
3) Move Akonadi indexing agent config + search_db out of the way once again
and reboot.
But first please really contribute by making a bug report.

It doesn´t crash. akonida_baloo_indexer crashes, not the indexing agent.

Tim, I didn´t write that it doesn´t work at all. It basically works here. But
its more rough than I think is good for an end user who wants to have it just
working out of the box.
What works here:
1) search in kmail with the search folders
2) address completion in kmail – just sometimes you have to type a few chars
and delete them again, then type again to make it work (known upstream bug)
3) contact search in krunner (alt-f2). needs plasma 5.7.
What does not work yet for me is mail full text search within krunner.
Further responses may take long time, I typed this all with left hand only, as
I fell onto right hand while dancing.
Thanks,
