Dolphin quick search not working (lemmy.ml)

Hey all I'm a little confused by something. I can't seem to quick search things in Dolphin, for instance if I try and look up a folder it says "no items matching the search" even though it will show up when looking for it on the command line and if I just manually search it myself. Does anyone know a fix for this?

I only know that no matter the operating system: Indexed file search always sucks.

It never seems to work as expected, takes up too many resources, gives outdated results.

I wish it woul offer just a dumb search instead that takes a little bit longer but is accurate.

Locate and fzf are always my go to's.
