 <para>
 This &systemsettings; module allows you to configure which files should be
 indexed for fast searching.
 
 It internally uses a technology called Baloo to efficiently search through the files.
 </para>
 
 <para>Add the widget <guilabel>Search</guilabel> to your panel or enable the search in &krunner;
 to use the indexing results for faster access to your documents.
 </para>
 
 <para>
 Activate the <guilabel>Enable File Search</guilabel> item if you want to use desktop search capabilities in &dolphin; and other &kde; applications. Uncheck the item if you do not want to use the file search with Baloo (it is possible to use other search technologies, &eg; &kfind;).
 </para>
 
 <para>Use <guilabel>Also index file content</guilabel> to also index the file contents additional to the file names.
 </para>
 
 <para>Check the <guilabel>Index hidden files and folders</guilabel> item to make Baloo index the hidden files and folders.
 </para>
 
 <note>
     <para>
         Any file or folder name that starts with a period (<literal>.</literal>) is hidden by default.
     </para>
 </note>
 
 <variablelist>

 <listitem>
     <para>
         You are presented with a list of folders that can be indexed. By default only
         your entire <filename class="directory"><envar>$HOME</envar></filename> folder is
         indexed, and no other folders or drives are indexed.
     </para>
     <para>
         Removable media is never indexed by default. It can be explicitly removed from
         the list of excluded folders and it will then be indexed.
     </para>
     <para>
         It is possible to use the combo box next to each item in the list to configure if it is <guimenuitem>Indexed</guimenuitem> or <guimenuitem>Not indexed</guimenuitem>.
     </para>
     <para>
         Use the trash button to remove an item from the list.
