--- Comment #1 from tagwerk19 at innerjoin.org ---
I think if you are searching with Dolphin, and Dolphin sees that baloo is
disabled or the folder "it is in" is not indexed by baloo, it will start a
"there and then" search. That is via "filenamesearch" rather then "baloosearch"
(although it's a bit more difficult to see what Dolphin is doing behind the
scenes nowadays).

A "filenamesearch", despite the name, can also search content if you've
requested it. Doing this over a remote connection is likely to be quite slow...

The "there and then" search does things like follow symlinks (that baloo avoids
doing), I would need to check behaviours with mounts "under" $HOME

Tangentially... Dolphin/Baloo search with symlinks: Bug 447119
