I'm also on KDE. I have disabled baloo by removing it from
/etc/xdg/autostart 

Baloo slows down everything, not just DK. 

Instead, I use locate which is part of mlocate and remove it from the
systemd startup with "sudo systemctl mask updatedb" and "sudo systemctl
mask updatedb.timer"

Then whenever I need indexing with new stuff, I run "sudo updatedb"
and search with "locate -i <string>".
