I just disabled balloo. It has never served me any purpose and I've never found a good description of what it does. It has never completed indexing of my files and would always start indexing (seemingly) randomly after failing.
Baloo is off on every KDE desktop I've set up (mine, friends, and family).
Anti Commercial-AI license
file search in krunner doesn't work without indexing (you have to at least set it to only index file names for that)
also, dolphin won't display file metadata (like image resolution) without file content indexing
@vox @onlinepersona I always wondered why basically none of the metadata fields displayed content.
I thought it was just broken, when it's actually broken by design
