Search works just fine here with Baloo activated! I did not try during indexing however. During the package builds there has been a time where Baloo and Kinit was still at 5.74 while other stuff was at 5.77. At this time I installed Baloo KF packages from experimental, yet it did not start. I had some hint in ~/.xsession-errors that a library could not be found but it referred to kinit. After everything was at 5.77 from unstable, Baloo worked fine. I did a "balooctl purge" do re-index everything cause I read in various updates by Nate Graham or on KDE web page that there have been significant changes in how it stores things into the Xapian database that make is more efficient. Norbert, Baloo is KDE's take on desktop search. These days it mostly works for me. I think there is still and issue with BTRFS RAID 1 that it can think at some time that the filesystem has changed and thus is would index files as new it already knows. But in case you don't use that it should just be fine. I use BTRFS RAID 1 for /home and / and will observe whether that still happens. Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it, a quiet and peaceful time to everyone anyway, Best, -- Martin
