--- Comment #19 from Ellie <el at horse64.org> ---
I got it to work by one day finding the Baloo indexing options inside KDE
system settings, and fully turning off baloo there. So I think the solution in
Dolphin would be something like:

1. Let me identify clearly in some way, e.g. when going into the settings to
configure search providers, which search provider is actually used. Let me pick
a different provider in the Dolphin settings if I want that, too. Neither of
those two things seem to be possible right now.

2. If baloo returns nothing in a folder that clearly isn't empty, maybe Dolphin
could eventually figure out there's some issue with it and display some sort of
warning.

Basically, when baloo is enabled but not working at all, Dolphin doesn't give
the user much to work with to figure out what is going on.
