    Baloo won't search NTFS partitions

    I am running Plasma 5.5.5 with Qt 5.5.1 on Kubuntu 16.04. I am unable to search files in an NTFS partition on my harddrive where I store all my files (I dualboot with Windows 8.1). The partition is mounted at /media/win. I even removed this partition from "Do not search in these locations" box under File Search setings.

    Contents of ~/.config/baloofilerc:
    Code:
    [Basic Settings]
    Indexing-Enabled=true
    
    [General]
    dbVersion=2
    exclude filters=*.pc,*.aux,*.rej,*.m4,.hg,config.status,confstat,_darcs,.moc,__pycache__,confdefs.h,*.swap,Makefile.am,autom4te,ui_*.h,*.pyc,libtool,.xsession-errors*,CVS,*.vm*,lost+found,moc_*.cpp,*.la,*.tmp,.uic,*.loT,*.nvram,*.part,*.moc,*.rcore,litmain.sh,CMakeTmpQmake,*~,*.lo,.git,cmake_install.cmake,*.o,lzo,CTestTestfile.cmake,conftest,.svn,.pch,core-dumps,*.elc,.bzr,CMakeFiles,CMakeTmp,*.po,qrc_*.cpp,*.gmo,CMakeCache.txt,*.omf,*.orig,po,.obj,.histfile.*,*.class,*.csproj
    exclude filters version=2

    folders[$e]=/media/win/,$HOME/

    What do balooctl config list includeFolders and balooctl status /media/win/ return?

        Well, it says it indexed it and it's done. Try re-indexing;

        balooctl disable
        balooctl enable

          Sorry that didn't work. But I added the KDE Neon repo to my system and did a full upgrade and now indexing the ntfs partition works! Must've been a bug that was fixed in Plasma 5.6.
