> Try to enable searching hidden files and folders without building an index
That's not how the Baloo file indexing service works; it's inherently
index-based. It builds an index and when when you search for something, it
consults its index.

If you want a non-indexed search that crawls the filesystem in real-time, you
might appreciate the KFind app.

What's wrong with the index-based search that makes you want to not use it?
