    Dolphin find tool does not work anymore always "invalid protocol"

    I have all kde-baseapps installed. I do have `/usr/share/kde4/services/filenamesearch.protocol`
    Code:
    [Protocol]
    exec=kio_filenamesearch
    protocol=filenamesearch
    input=none
    output=filesystem
    reading=true
    writing=false
    deleting=true
    linking=false
    makedir=false
    moving=false
    listing=Name,Type,Size,Date,AccessDate,Access,Owner,Group,Link
    source=false
    Icon=edit-find
    Class=:local
    determineMimetypeFromExtension=false
    maxInstances=10
    can anyone confirm this? Is this a bug?

    Information needed...

    Could you add:

    - KDE version ?
    - If using the KDE SC 4.13 - Is the baloo installed and running.

    Available for the Saucy the original KDE SC 4.11 and through the Kubuntu Backport PPA the KDE SC 4.13. The KDE SC 4.11 is using the Nepomuk and the KDE SC 4.13 is using the Baloo.

      libbaloo installed but not running

      Strangely, I cannot find the `desktop search` option in `system settings`...

      And I still have nepomuk in the system?! Both baloo and nepomuk are desktop search engine?!

        About baloo...

        Baloo links: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...71-Baloo-links


        libbaloo installed but not running
        Is the package baloo installed ?

        With the 14.04 the package baloo has the KDE control module (baloo) desktop search.




        Code:
        :~$ apt-file search kcm_baloofile.desktop
        baloo: /usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_baloofile.desktop
        Packages/trusty: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/baloo
        baloo - framework for searching and managing metadata
        libbaloocore4 - Core funcationality for Baloo
        libbaloofiles4 - Files funcationality for Baloo
        libbalooxapian4 - Xapian funcationality for Baloo

        With the Precise backport: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/05/09...el.html#t12:39
        allee Is it intentional that in precise the upgrade from kde 4.12 -> 4.13 does not install baloo pkg? 12:39
        apachelogger if I had a say in it there would not have been 4.13 for precise :P 12:40
        * yofel thought we at least had a recommends on baloo *somewhere* other than the metapackage 12:41

        You may want to add a bug report to the KDE SC 4.13 Saucy backport.

          Thanks a lot @Rog132. Yeap, the `baloo` package is missing! A bug indeed.
          After the `baloo` installed
          `ps aux|grep baloo` will show the baloo_file, which I believe is the indexing service.
          At this point when you try to find a file, it usually ends up with some message like 'protocol is terminated unexpected ...'. No need to be panic. This is because the index has not yet been prepared. The time required depends on hardware and how many files you have. In my system it took about 2 day before it finally went quiet. After that I can happily search with dolphin again.

            Thanks for the ideas. It actually led me to the solution. Turns out that it was in system settings, but in a module new to Kubuntu 15. It was actually telling Dolphin not to search that drive! system settings Click image for larger version
