Bug ID: 452628
Summary: Can not find a part of a word in a filename
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 5.91.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rocking...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When the File Search (Indexing) is enabled, I can't find a file when I type a
part of a word.
For example I can find the file with the name "text-example.txt" when I type
"example" in the search field, but not when I type "xample".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable File Search (indexing) in the System Settings
2. Search a file in Dolphin/Application Launcher/Krunner etc. by typing a part
of a word hat is present in the filename.
OBSERVED RESULT
Filename that contains the entered part of a word is not found
EXPECTED RESULT
Filename is found
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The problem does not happen when the File Search is disabled. In that case
searching for "xample" finds the file "text-example.txt".
The option to find the filename by the part of a word can be useful because a
lot of Linux terms combine multiple words in a single word. For example I want
to find the file with my notes about "libfprint". The file has "libfprint" in
the name. I don't remember the full name "libfprint", but only that it contains
"print". In that case I won't find the file by typing "print".
