            Bug ID: 333020
           Summary: No way to index directories off root via UI
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.12.97
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: search

Baloo auto indexes the contents of $HOME and sub directories by default. Other
entries in fstab are added to a black list by default, but can be removed (and
hence indexed) via the Systems Settings "Desktop Search" UI.

However any user data directories that are on the root mount are not indexed by
default, and cannot be specified for indexing via the UI.

They can be manually added by editing  baloofilerc, and are indexed after that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a root data directory, e.g /data2
2. Add a document file to this directory, e..g balootest.txt, with some unique
content
3. Search for the file with baloosearch, e.g "baloosearch balootest"

Actual Results:  
No results will be returned.

Expected Results:  
/data2/balootest.txt

Editing the ~/.kde/share/config/baloofilerc file and adding:

  "folders[$e]=/data2/,$HOME/"

will give the desired results. Users shouldn't have to do this though.
