            Bug ID: 439909
           Summary: Searching in current directory doesn't work alt all
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.04.3
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux

file search - options

SUMMARY
I opened directory "~/Documents" to find file which I recently saved here. I
was very surprise when after using Ctrl+F and putting name of this file I saw
blank view. I closed it and started search manually, just typing first letters.
I found my file in this way. I wonder why I wasn't to do it by "Search" option.
I thought that maybe baloo didn't update its index yet for this directory, so I
also tried to do it next day. Unfortunately with the same result.

Notice that "File Search" is turned on (details on the screen shot).  Some time
ago I added my home directory, and found it there with status "indexed". I also
added several other directories, which  are "Not indexed", because they are
mounted by nfs. In this list there is no "~/Documents"

Additionally I tried to find file which is present in my home directory (which
has status "Indexed"). Result the same as previously - blank view.

Because of this my conclusion is: searching in dolphin doesn't work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add your  home directory to be indexed to "Search settings"
2. Save any file in ~/Documents, for example "my_document.pdf"
3. open dolphin, and go to "~/Documents" directory
4. press "Ctrl+F" and paste name of your file

OBSERVED RESULT
blank view

EXPECTED RESULT
file which was searched
