Maybe not immediately, but eventually it will. Maybe it helps if you remove 
the "initialIndexingDone=true" from the (I think not yet to akonadisearch 
renamed) config file, or remove the file and let it recreate it.

~/.config> cat baloorc    
[Akonadi]
aborted=false
agentIndexingVersion=4
dirtyCollections=
initialIndexingDone=true
