Strange results
SUMMARY
As you can see in the picture, the results from Baloo are completely irrelevant
to a first impression. It seems it is currently giving priority to weight based
on the file contents rather than on the file name. For a further discussion and
context, this reddit post can help:

in which t his Bug originated
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Te reproduce it is tricky, as we would need specific files that contain
keywords that we search for, in this case, it will happen than when searching
for these keywords, the files containing them appear first, and the files that
actually have these keywords on the file name, never show up, which is the
assumed default. Check the image.
OBSERVED RESULT
In the picture, you can see the keyword being search brings very strange
results
Of course disabling "Content Index" solves it, but it is not an answer or a
solution. Content Index is important but should not be first, IMHO. Also,
disabling Content Index in KDE does not work well. User needs to disable,
purge, logout and re-enable baloo for the changes to take effect. But this
would be a separate issue.
EXPECTED RESULT
The first results should always be files whose filename contain the searched
keyword
