When baloo search is enabled, "Your files" will search in all of the indexed
folders (although by default this will be only 'Home'), so these two options
are slightly different. 

But for non-indexed search these options are redundant as you well point, as
they both search from 'Home' dir. We'll need to think of a possible solution to
avoid this confusion.

Searching in all of the possible partitions (that is, from '/') doesn't seem
viable as it can be quite slow. Users can still explicitly search from root
folder for that case.
