[Solved] KDE 4.13 - Dolphin - Get FIND to work on NAS

I have a NAS attached to my computer with folders mapped/mounted under my username

/home/kurt/NAS/DS1813+/Comics
/home/kurt/NAS/DS1813+/Music

etc..etc

These are mounted via my /etc/fstab file:

//192.168.0.200/Video /home/kurt/NAS/DS1813+/Video cifs user,noauto,iocharset=utf8,uid=1001,gid=1001,credentials=/home/kurt/.cifscredentials,sec=ntlm,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0
//192.168.0.200/Comics /home/kurt/NAS/DS1813+/Comics cifs user,noauto,iocharset=utf8,uid=1001,gid=1001,credentials=/home/kurt/.cifscredentials,sec=ntlm,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0
//192.168.0.200/Books /home/kurt/NAS/DS1813+/Books cifs user,noauto,iocharset=utf8,uid=1001,gid=1001,credentials=/home/kurt/.cifscredentials,sec=ntlm,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0
//192.168.0.200/Music /home/kurt/NAS/DS1813+/Music cifs user,noauto,iocharset=utf8,uid=1001,gid=1001,credentials=/home/kurt/.cifscredentials,sec=ntlm,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0

I used to be able to use DOLPHIN's FIND/SEARCH feature to find files within these folders however when I use it now it doesn't find anything even if I use the exact name of the file to be found.

The find feature still work OK for files on the local disc OK.

In System Settings --> Desktop Search the only location in the "Do not search in these locations" box is an external USB hard drive.

How can I get this to work again please.

Apologies for bumping an old thread but for me this is a MAJOR problem. I can only search my NAS with the command line and therefore lose any ability to drag and drop/organize via a GUI (Dolphin), Surely there MUST be a way for me to use Dolphin to search my NAS.

Am I doing somethin wrong. Is there something I'm not doing. I can't believe I'm the only one with attached NAS storage.

Again apologies.

Add your nfs folder to that list of devices that shouldn't be indexed, that should restore normal find behaviour. There are some problems with network mounts and baloo.
