Where did you create the symlink? In your home folder or down in one of
Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos?

Fedora behaves a bit differently. By default it indexes "those four" folders
and not everything (so not anything you create in your home folder). If you
have created the symlink under $HOME and you search from $HOME, Dolphin will do
its own search...

That *does* follow symlinks (so you should have found hits), it messes up and
does not find matches in filenames if you are searching for content (baaad!)
and it only finds content within text files (hmmm, but you can see why it has
that limit).
