Note that search within krunner does also work.
So the issue is really specific to Dolphin.

Comment 2 Jean-Christophe Baptiste 2015-06-06 16:24:19 UTC
The problem was solved after I erased all my .config folder and re-opened a KDE session with a clean state.
Probably a strange issue with old cache or settings.

Comment 3 HotMusicFan 2015-06-23 18:10:01 UTC
For me it does not worked. I had filed a similar bug in KDE Bugzilla where devs told me that it could be a packaging issue.

Comment 4 Jean-Christophe Baptiste 2015-06-23 18:14:28 UTC
Yes, I am actually still having the issue.

The fact is that searches launched from within your home folder do not work.

Strangely, just move Dolphin to another folder, like /, and then from there start the search : it should work !

Here is the corresponding upstream bug report :

Confirmed Thu Jul  9 09:25:55 PDT 2015, Fedora release 21 (Twenty One). But until upstream fixes this, note that searches from one level above $HOME such as '/home' instead of '/' run much faster, at least in the case of file content searches. And much, much faster faster than a grep from $HOME.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 14:23:49 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
