Yeah, it started to work properly. I think this bug status should be changed to NOTABUG because the problem most likely is that baloo indexing was slow/buggy and not that it was wrong. If I have new questions about baloo, should I ask them in kde matrix channel or here? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457335 --- Comment #5 from tagwer...@innerjoin.org --- (In reply to Artur Rudenko from comment #4) > Why does it miss? It's a baloo bug or inotify problem? Maybe something of both... A historical "solved" case first; some distributions used to have a maximum number of folders that could be watched (fs.inotify.max_user_watches) rather low, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433204#c1. That caused issues in the past but is now generally OK. There is also however the size of the queue, fs.inotify.max_queued_events. If something creates more than this number of events, quicker than baloo can deal with them, then the queue will overflow. $ sysctl fs.inotify will show the values set in your system. In your example, if you unpack a zip containing *many* small files, you may hit the max_queued_events limit. Maybe perhaps you are creating a folder structure as part of the unpacking and baloo cannot set up the watches on the new folders before files are created within them. There are also the cases where baloo is busy (possibly when deleting a large bunch of files) and is not picking up the iNotify messages. > ... Maybe when iNotify notifies about a file created (or modified), baloo > should > mark parent folder as un-indexed? I think baloo could queue up a "balooctl check" if it gets a iNotify overflow failure. Possibly also if it suspects inconsistency but that feels messy. > ... But in real situation it is not.

You might hit the limits when deleting loads of files (Bug 353874) and you could dig a hole for yourself if you repeatedly delete and create large numbers of files. Maybe check to see if you see the issue with "content indexing" disabled. If need full text indexing, be aware that baloo will deliberately "pace itself" when indexing the extracted files; it indexes a block of 40 files, then the next and the next and so on. I've occasionally wondered if a widget showing baloo's "rate of indexing" would give useful feedback -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Yes, could be that baloo "got stuck". It relies on "iNotify" alerts to see when files are created, deleted or changed - and there are times when baloo misses something. A "balooctl check" brings things back up to date for new or changed files. Purging the index and reindexing is the "start again from scratch" solution. In general though baloo should be quick at noticing new files and changed file details. It knows "content indexing" is harder work and queues up "full text" indexing (something you can watch happening with a "balooctl monitor") > ... Maybe it would be better if dolphin did > fallback to the classic search when baloo can't find needed files? I'm not sure how Dolphin would know that baloo has not indexed particular files. It *does* check what folders baloo is indexing and whether baloo is enabled and "falls back" to it's internal search if it thinks baloo hasn't indexed the folder. That can be messy - Bug 424871, 4th comment shows how messy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

What filesystem are you using? (I'm assuming your > files are on a local disc) Yes, I'm on updated arch setup and it's ext4 on local disc, but now after I reindexed everything, it works now (I searched using dolphin with file search in settings). This could be that newly created files remain unindexed some time after the creation. Maybe it would be better if dolphin did fallback to the classic search when baloo can't find needed files? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
