A simple exemple of dolphin missing some files in my /home. In this example, it
just found .bash_history file, but actually there is  .bash_logout and .bashrc
in the directory.

SUMMARY
I've been using plasma for about 3 weeks and sometimes i needed to find
configuration files in my /home directory.
I know that configuration files are usually hidden so i have already changed my
search options in the system settings to it index hidden files and my dolphin
is configured to show hidden files as well. When i search for some
configuration files, dolphin simply can't find a great part of them, even if
the files in fact exist in /home/USER folder or in sub-directories of it. In
fact it can find usually one or two files with the name i asked, but it simply
don't show all the possible files. In some folders, Dolphin can't find a thing,
like in .cache folder, .config, etc. I obviously tried to click in another
option in the results, like "File name", "Content"... But it doesn't works.
I'm using KDE Neon Unstable edition in wayland session, with BTRFS file system
installed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change your indexing settings to the system be able find hidden files. Press
ctrl + H (or alt + .) in Dolphin as well.
2. Search for some hidden file (the bug happens usually searching for a
file/folder located inside .config, .dbus, .kde .cache... directories)
3. After following the steps, i think you probably will not be able find a
several files

OBSERVED RESULT

Dolphin don't have success to find many files, may you can find a small set of
them, but the results section will miss a lot.

EXPECTED RESULT

Show every possible file with the name i put in the search box, including files
located inside hidden folders.
