SUMMARY
When Baloo is enabled, Dolphin's file search automatically surrounds search
terms with double quotes, causing issues withe file searching.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Baloo
2. Enable file indexing
3. Search multiple keywords in Dolphin search

OBSERVED RESULT
Search results are as if `baloosearch6` were run with keywords surrounded by
double quotes.
For example, searching `tutorial shading` in Dolphin runs `baloosearch6
"tutorial shading"`. This results in fewer results than expected, since only
files with the keywords in that exact order are returned.
EXPECTED RESULT
Expected results as if search were performed without quotes, e.g. `baloosea=
rch6
tutorial shading` in the above example.
