log of requested debugging commands

I am attaching the output as a text file, since the output from systemctl is
extremely long.

Note that I reported this bug after the issue occurred, and when that happened
I once again killed Baloo and (if I recall correctly) deleted all of its cached
files. The issue has not reoccured since then. So I'm not sure whether this
information will be useful.

That said, I have not changed any settings since the issue originally appeared.
File content indexing continues to be disabled in the settings window, while
basic indexing is enabled. The first command you gave prints no output (even
when I correct the file name of the baloofilerc file to be the one on my
system). However, examining the file, I see that "only basic indexing" is set
to true.

Note: my best guess for the cause of this issue is that if Baloo has a file
content indexing operation in progress, this operation is terminated, and then
file content indexing is disabled, in at least certain cases when normal file
indexing is resumed thereafter, it will also resume trying to index the content
of the file / files that were in progress previously. If those files were
causing the file indexer to hang, Baloo will also hang once again. For that
reason, disabling file content indexing *and* deleting Baloo's cache (which had
grown to an enormous size on this small SSD) prevented the problem from
appearing again, because any leftovers from the in-progress indexing operation
were deleted.
