So much for muh 'KDE Integration'
And I haven't even touched how it likes to go haywire every once in a while and hog a CPU core non-stop until reboot/shutting the service down.
Does anyone know any alternative that isn't pure trash?
It should be considered a crime against humanity that many distros ship this absolute junk.

>>106296065 (OP)
Just use grep and find, indexing file search is shit and dumb. The only reason Windows needs it is because IO on windows is dog shit.

wrong

>>106296233
Well fuck man as embarrassing as it is to say I've never read the manual for grep before.
Didn't know it could go recursively.
Thanks lol, you saved my ass.
Baloo still sucks balls though.

Well you weren't kidding I was able to grep through more than a million files totaling >1tb in less than 3 minutes.(skipped binaries though)
Holy hell that's fast for such task.
With ag and rg, it only takes a few seconds.
>>106297333
Cope.
>find . -type f (-iname) "*query*"
This is blazing fast too for matching filenames.

>>106296065 (OP)
macos doesn't have this problem

>>106296065 (OP)
Works just fine for me. Also who tf indexing git repos with this?

>>106297333
So you're admitting that built in indexing solution in Windows is shit so you have to use third party alternative?

>>106296065 (OP)
Sounds like you didn't enable contents index. Even then I doubt it should find exact line of code in indexed file.

>>106296065 (OP)
Indexing is fucking retarded when you have tools like find, fd, and grep at your disposal.

>>106296065 (OP)
Have you tried Microsoft Windows? It's a great alternative to our traditional operating systems. It can do absolutely everything and it literally just works, right out of the box. That OS has the potential to become the global market leader before the end of the decade.

>>106296065 (OP)
I am a huge fan of KDE, and OP is right. Baloo kinda sucks ass at its one job. I encounter the same exact thing OP is experiencing as well as when it sometimes just goes haywire and maxxes a CPU core for no reason. I don't get it.

It's one of KDE's big weaknesses right now overall.

>>106298647
>Sounds like you didn't enable contents
Nope, it was enabled
>Even then I doubt it should find exact line of code in indexed file.
Why the fuck it shouldn't? What is the point of indexing contents if it won't find them?
It works half a day and a reboot later btw, but it should have worked back then.
>>106298655
Yeah I learned these by now.

linux tranny when someone uses a different tool on windows :OOOO
linux tranny when theythem has to use 50 different scripts and programs to 1/10th of said windows tool
:DDDDDD
also the "indexing solution" can be as shit as it wants because NTFS' isnt, which enables you to search whatever the fuck you want instantly, unlike on linux where cocksuckers like >>106297570 either never used Everything or are just blatantly lying

>>106296065 (OP)

>>git clone repo

You fucking retard. It obviously hasn't updated the index. If you want instant search use grep -Rie or better yet install Mac OS since you obviously don't actually like Linux.

Cope.

Read properly before commenting.

>>106296065 (OP)
For anyone who isn't a baiting retard, but who is drawn into this thread cause you look for the best way of searching (without indexing):

Install ripgrep-all, Dolphin will automatically use that and it can look through pretty much everything.
Disable baloo, because any file indexing is retarded.

>>106302366
>install Mac OS
Mac can only search via index, it can not search through recent changes.
But iToddlers worship any crap, so this might actually be a solution for OP.
Buy a mac, have a worse experience, but cope.

Baloo is basically malware, but even that is generous since malware usually functions.

>>106297333
We have fsearch

>>106302768
yup another retard whos either never used Everything or is blatantly lying
have fun building your niggerbase every time you want to search something new

>>106302768
Those retards who only are using Linux because of some youtuber are truly a disservice to the cause.
I really think that most of the hate Windows gets comes from technically illiterate faggots like you who'd rather change their OSs and how they do everything in it over learning how to use Windows properly.

>>106296065 (OP)
If you already know that shit is in a particular repo in a particular folder, why don't you just fucking use grep to find it?

>>106302471
>9 seconds
kek
also show task manager with disk and cpu graphs

>>106303070
>kek
We both know winshit would take much longer to go through the contents of million+ files totaling >1TB.
>cpu graphs
Pretty reasonable for a few seconds burst actually

File indexing sucks shit in general
