Using Baloo
Baloo is not an application, but a daemon to index files. Applications can use the Baloo framework to provide file search results. For example, Dolphin's Content search can use Baloo.
KDE System Settings > File Search provides an intentionally limited number of settings. You can make additional adjustments in Baloo's configuration file.
balooctl
balooctl
is a CLI command to perform certain operations on Baloo. Enter balooctl --help
in a terminal app such as userbase:Konsole to list its available subcommands.
