I would suspect that "Duration" is a tag embedded in the audio (MP3?) file.
Embedded tags mean that baloo has to open the file, find the tags and index
them.
If you run something like EasyTag it can show you these ID3 tags
Baloo also indexes tags, comments, ratings that are held as file attributes -
not internal to the file but held together with other file attributes such as
modification times (roughly). You can query these extended attributes with the
getfattr command:
getfattr -d yourfile
If you tag something in Dolphin or give it a rating, you can see these extended
attributes changing. You can add/change these attributes without making any
change _to_ your files and baloo indexes them without requiring "content
indexing"
Watch out, not all filesystems are able to hold extended attributes. If you've
added a tag to a file on an Ext4 or BTRFS filesystem and then copied the file
to a USB formatted with FAT, the extended attributes are lost.
Have to say
https://api.kde.org/frameworks/baloo/html/searching.html
doesn't make it clear that tags can come from different sources (but I don't
think that if baloo reads a tag, it remembers where it read it from...)
I've not tried it but if you want to index audio and not documents, you might
be able to make use of "exclude mimetypes"
