Check if its enabled in Systemsettings / Desktop / Search. If not, enable it and relog into the session.balooctl6 status should show Baloo as running and probably doing some work.If you want to reindex everything, you can try: balooctl6 suspend; balooctl6 purge; balooctl resume (or relog) I aliased balooctl to balooctl6 in my shell configuration file. The output could look like this: % LANG=C.UTF-8 balooctl status Baloo File Indexer is running Indexer state: Idle Total files indexed: […] Files waiting for content indexing: 0 Files failed to index: 0 Current size of index is […] GiB
On my side I have LANG=C.UTF-8 balooctl6 status Baloo File Indexer is running Indexer state: Idle Total files indexed: 60,390 Files waiting for content indexing: 0 Files failed to index: 0 Current size of index is 35.46 MiBBUT in dolphin I do have only partial correct information for recent elements:
Recent File is empty although I created one today Recent location is also empty Modified Today is correct (I modified the file I copied). Modified Yesterday is also correct.So the two "recent item" are still empty. (NB I translated menu items from french I hope translation is correct or at least you can guess the item menu).
