I'll deal with this one first just in case anyone else has followed a path to
this bug report.
By default Fedora indexes a subset of directories, ~/Documents, ~/Pictures,
~/Music and ~/Videos (with Baloo). That is, it doesn't index your home
directory by default. If you want to search for anything with Dolphin, starting
"from home", Dolphin will use it's own "there and then" search, find it's way
down through the subdirectories (including ~/Downloads) and give you any
matches. The command line baloosearch won't find any matches as baloo hasn't
indexed ~/Downloads.
There's a description of the differences between Dolphin's own search and baloo
here: Bug 463830
The above does not apply in your case as you've set Fedora to index everything.
Second option might be that you have a symlink to your ~/Downloads, from
somewhere under your home folder, maybe (this is how it caught me), in your
~/Desktop folder (could also be that you have your Downloads folder on another
disc?). Symlinks can get messy and generally baloo avoids following them when
it's doing its indexing.
What is tricky to work out without additional information is why:
baloosearch <keyword>
works and
baloosearch --directory /home/<myusername> <keyword>
doesn't. For one of the files that the first finds and the second does not:
balooshow -x <thecuriousfile>
Have a look for your filename and a different filename within [ square brackets
]
There's a description of just how tangled symlinks can get here: Bug 447119
... I'm wondering about case "2a" as this seems to best match your symptoms.
