--- Comment #8 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Baloo is an index-based search system. It doesn't work without an index.
"Baloo, but without indexing" is a new search system. :) 

Maybe this is a communication issue because we're using the word "index" to
mean different things. Because you said:

> like it is currently doing for non-hidden files without indexing.

That's not the case; Baloo always uses indexing. If Baloo is turned on, it's
indexing things. If indexing isn't happening, then Baloo is disabled. If you've
got Baloo disabled and you search in Dolphin, it is indeed searching without
indexing... but this is not a systemwide search. It's just Dolphin's own in-app
non-Baloo search. It doesn't exist outside of Dolphin and it isn't tied into
any of the places where you can initiate searches in other contexts.
