Thank you for the link. But #463830 has quite a different problem, related but
different, has it not?
Because it is about the difference of results with or without baloo. People do
not care about baloo and consistency with its results.
What they care about is the fact that **search does not find files that exist
in the directory**.

The main point is that the only correct way to search files is to find those
files, especially when Show Hidden Files is ON. Because all other search apps
and file manager do it, so, it is what people expect. Otherwise it is an actual
bug, not a feature.
