Alternatives to Baloo?

Say I want to search “dreamryca” in the Dolphin. It returns what I expect:

If I just type “ca“, the files won’t be searched:

If I disable Baloo, Dolpin searches well. What search engine should I use?

There may be a minimum number of characters(or maximum number of results) since baloo is made to index the content of the files, not just the filenames. I have not tested that though.

You can use something other than baloo for indexing your documents, but it won’t be integrated as seamlessly.
