I’ve found searching for files on KDE (with Baloo) to be, for some reason, really inaccurate and hit-or-miss. Sometimes, even if I remember the exact name of the file, it won’t show up in the search results. Partial names have a lower probability of showing up. Slightly inaccurate names (with a Levenshtein distance of 1 or 2 to the actual name) have a very low probability of showing up. I end up searching for it using find or ag (the silver searcher).
Baloo is also indeed a resource hog. It can use 100% of a CPU core for hours and hours, while it’s indexing. But I’d be fine/happy with that if it just worked properly.
