            Bug ID: 494673
           Summary: Quoted Dolphin searches forget quotes
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Neon
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: tagwerk19 at innerjoin.org
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY:
    If you quote the phrase to search for an exact phrase rather than all the
words
    (using the Baloo index). Dolphin allows you to type "Just this" and gives
you
    the hits with the exact match however when you press return Dolphin strips
the
    quotes and returns the hits with all words.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1...
    Make sure Baloo is running and indexing your test folder

2...
    Create a couple of test files:
        $ echo "Just this" > letter-to-mary.txt
        $ echo "Just want to say this" > letter-to-agatha.txt

3...
    Open Dolphin search, choose "Content" rather than "Filename" and
    type, with double quotes, "Just this" and check the results. Then press
return.

OBSERVED RESULT:
    The search for "Just this", as you are typing, gives you just the
letter-to-mary.txt
    (as it is an exact match)

    When you press return, you get both the letter-to-mary.txt and
letter-to-agatha.txt

    You will see the search string "as used" displayed the Dolphin title change
    from '"Just this"' to 'Just this', the results switch from matching the
phrase to
    matching all the words

EXPECTED RESULT:
    If the search string is quoted, it stays quoted.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:
    Neon Unstable
    Dolphin: 24.11.70
    Plasma: 6.1.90
    Frameworks: 6.7.0
    Qt: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    This affects Baloo searches as Dolphin's internal search does not find
quoted phrases
    (See Bug 494584)

    Note that single quotes round the phrase are kept, it is only the double
quotes that
    are lost, and also it only fails with "Content" search, not if you have
selected
    "Filename".
