Oh, I forgot to add my use-case of having DATA LOSS due to this search problem.

I eventually forget that search is not working reliably in Dolphin and this
happens:

1. I open directory and check there it has no valuable files based by names. To
do that I search for some sub-string like "important" using Dolphin search.
2. I delete the directory expecting it to lack valuable files.
3. The files where really there, like: `subdir/.local/important`. Dolphin
failed to find them but successfully removed them.

I had these situation multiple times myself in real life, so it is not
far-fetched at all.
