Dolphin search on Plasma 5 not working properly for images

I am playing around with Krunner and the search capabilities of Dolphin (because I have never paid much attention to these in the past). While search in Dolphin works amazingly for documents, music and videos, the results for images are terrible.

As example, consider the file "/home/user/Pictures/Wallpapers/Batarang.jpg". First I go to "/home/user/Pictures/Wallpapers" with Dolphin. Then I press "ctrl + F" to activate the search function. I configure the search to focus on

- Filename
- From Here
- Any
- Anytime
- Any Rating

Finally, I type "Batarang" (without the quotes obviously) and press enter. The results are:

- Wallpapers (this is a folder)
- The_Dark_Knight_Rises.png

Something...did not go quite right there

Oh and in case you were wondering whether I enabled "File Search" under "System Settings > Search > File Search" and/or if I have a tick in front of "Image" under "System Settings > Search > Plasma Search"... yes I have

Is there something wrong with my system or is this a bug in Dolphin / Search?
