> is Baloo running or not?

Yes it should be running. I have this:

    $ pgrep baloo
    1427814
    1430114

> when you do a Ctrl-F you'll see...

I see something like this https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=137169
which has "any type" & "any date" & "any rating". Therefore baloo should be
running.

> Try creating a test file in your Documents folder...

Okay, but I used "~/Documents/TestBaloo" instead, because my Documents folder
is quite messy.

    $ echo "Hello Penguin" > test-file.txt

And now if I go to that folder and Ctrl + F and search "test" or "Penguin" I
get no results.

    $ balooctl status

It stays blank and I have to hit Ctrl + C to exit.

    $ balooshow -x test-file.txt
    test-file.txt: No index information found

...so there's no index. Okay.

    mono at gask:~/Documents/TestBaloo$ baloosearch test
    /home/mono/Sachen/Documents Library/Thesis/template/lstpatch.sty

It returns things from another directory. This is not a full list. And
test-file.txt is not in the list.


    $ baloosearch Penguin 
    Elapsed: 15.2315 msecs

Returns nothing.

Now for balooctl monitor in one window and balooctl purge in another window.

The first one:

    $ balooctl monitor
    Press ctrl+c to stop monitoring
    File indexer is running
    Idle

The second one:

    $ balooctl purge
    Stopping the File Indexer




...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
- failed to stop!

Not sure if you can see the output correctly, but it's just lots of dots and
"failed to stop" in the end.

> In System Settings "Search", you should see "Enable File Search" checked and your home directory "indexed"...

Yes it's checked, and home is indexed, and also "Also index file content" is
checked.


Hope any of this makes sense.
