> 1. Configure baloo to index disk in /media
That means you should be able to change directory in Dolphin to
    /media/francois/Storage/
and start typing a filename for baloo to find. The Dolphin search dialog should
look like:
    https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=137169
    (Taken from in Bug 435119)
which means Dolphin is using baloo....

You can also do:
   baloosearch ...fileinyourmediafolders...
and see if it finds the file...

> 2. Open Kfind and select the disk indexed in step 1.
Here you've switched to using a different search tool...

> 3. Check "Use files index" box.
The "Use files index" means "You've created a file index with the 'updatedb' 
program, look through this to find the files you want..."

> 4. Click on "Find" button.
> Having "Use files index" box unchecked does present results for disk in
> /media.
In this case KFind looks though your /media directory structure "there and
then" and lists the matches.

> Having "Use files index" box checked does present results for user's home
> directory.
That implies (I think) that mlocate and updatedb are installed, just that
updatedb isn't indexing your /media folders.
