baloo search doesn't work with kdelibs4 in kubuntu vivid by default

[Jonathan Riddell]

baloo search doesn't work in dolphin in kubuntu vivid by default. dolphin is kdelibs4 not kf5. baloo-utils is installed which should provide the baloo parts for kdelibs4 including kio slave.

This doens't work:
 kioclient ls baloosearch://?query=foo

While this does:
 kioclient5 ls baloosearch://?query=foo

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I guess it affects me.

[Sherif (ali-sherif10)]

I have Kubuntu 15.04.

if I install baloo4 and run baloosearch it complains that the database isn't open

if I install libqt4-sql-sqlite this gets fixed and qt4 baloosearch now works

alas this doesn't help kioclient ls baloosearch://?query=foo which continues not to return anything

turning on debugging in kdebugdialog gives me:

Seems the issue is the syntax in the io slave is different. After installing qtsqlite plugin it works in dolphin

A query like this does work on the command line
kioclient ls "baloosearch://?json=%7B%20%22customOptions%22%20:%20%7B%20%22includeFolder%22%20:%20%22/home/%22%20%7D,%20%22term%22%20:%20%7B%20%22$and%22%20:%20%5B%20%7B%20%22filename%22%20:%20%7B%20%22$ct%22%20:%20%22foo%22%20%7D%20%7D%20%5D%20%7D,%20%22type%22%20:%20%5B%20%22File%22%20%5D%20%7D&title=Query%20Results%20from%20'foo'"

So once the new baloo4 migrates to vivid problem solved. This is only blocked by a random failing test on kde-baseapps
 which I guess I'll patch out.

Even after releasing the fix, bug 1432853 is still not fixed.

I have the same bug as well on kubuntu 15.04
