The only reason I suggested "Documents" is that not all distributions index all
folders. As far as I can tell, everyone indexes "Documents" :-)

Never met that! Doesn't sound healthy :-/

Have met that. More in the past, maybe less so recently...

My gut feeling is the baloo index has got corrupted. It happens and in that
case the best option is to start again from scratch.

If you cannot do a "balooctl purge", do a "balooctl disable" (which might still
fail to stop) and reboot. The "disable" should prevent baloo starting up again
when you log back in.

You should then be able to run a "balooctl monitor" in one window, a "balooctl
purge" to delete the index and then a "balooctl enable" to start the indexing
in a second window (it may be that you need a "balooctl enable" followed by a
"balooctl enable" as it sometimes needs to be told twice)

If you have no luck with "balooctl purge", the index file lives at:

    .local/share/baloo/index

and you can stop baloo and delete it manually.

There's a Bug 431664 about needing to reindex if you had been running a baloo
5.68 or earlier

Thank you, yes :-)
