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 MiB
BUT 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).
