Yes, part of baloo's "hidden work" is understanding the different file types
and extracting the text from them. It's a bit of thankless task for the
maintainers, keeping up with all the file types.

Dolphin has a "Plan B" for when it cannot ask Baloo. It does a search itself,
"there and then", reading each file in turn.

> Baloosearch does find stuff but 
OK, If baloosearch works, then baloo is OK.

I find it strange that you don't see anything (in Dolphin) when you search for
mp3 - and yet you do get results from "baloosearch mp3".

Might be worth simplifying - try:

    echo "Hello Penguin" > '01 - Always In My Head.txt'

and check whether Dolphin sees that. It does for me...

In the spirit of throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, there's no
chance that your mp3 files have a trailing space, so "whatever.mp3 " instead of
"whatever.mp3"?

I've tried this and "baloosearch mp3" finds the files and Dolphin search
doesn't...
