Meaning that Dolphin should follow any symlinks before doing a search and
(silently) query baloo with the canonical path? Although I'm not sure whether
Dolphin should then show the results relative to the symlink or with the
canonical path.

It makes sense ...

    ... although it implies that the index *only* ever contains canonical
paths.

Would also need to be careful that baloosearch and filenamesearch do the same
thing.

Edge cases?

    $ balooshow -x  path-including-symlink
    $ balooctl index path-including-symlink
    $ balooctl clear path-including-symlink

and then evil baloofilerc includes such as

    folders[$e]=$HOME/Desktop/Documents

where you've got a symlink on your Desktop to your Documents folder?

I think the "balooctl index" (and "balooctl clear") does things properly but I
suspect that the evil include does not...
