This page documents all of the values that can be used to configure Baloo File Indexing. The config file is generally present in ~/.kde4/share/apps/config/baloofilerc.
Many of these changes will only take place on restarting the baloo_file process.
[Basic Settings] Indexing-Enabled=true
This can be changed to true / false.
[General] first run=false
This `first run` config value determines if Baloo has run through the entire file system and checked every file for indexing. If you ever delete the baloo db manually, this should be set to false so that baloo scans the entire file system tree again on startup.

This list of patterns is run against each file in order to determine if the file should be indexed.
[General] exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/FolderA/,$HOME/FolderB/
This list is comma separated and is used to check which directories should never be indexed. By default this list is empty.
[General] folders[$e]=$HOME/
This list governs which folders Baloo should index recursively. By default, it will index your $HOME directory.
[General] only basic indexing=true
This will trigger Baloo to only index the filename.
[General] index hidden folders=true
