balooctl: Resume the file indexer.
$ balooctl resume
try on your machine

The command "balooctl resume" is used to resume the indexing process of the Baloo file indexing and search service on Linux systems.

Baloo is a file indexing and search framework that is installed by default on many Linux distributions, including KDE Plasma. It is responsible for indexing the content of files on your system, allowing for faster and more efficient searching.

Sometimes, you may want to pause or suspend the indexing process temporarily to reduce resource usage or for other reasons. In such cases, you can use the command "balooctl suspend" to stop the indexing process.

"balooctl resume" is used to reverse the suspension and resume the indexing process. When you run this command, Baloo will start indexing files again and update its search index to include any changes made to the files during the suspension.

It is worth mentioning that the indexing process can consume system resources, especially when indexing a large number of files or when running on a low-end system. So, suspending or resuming Baloo indexing can be helpful in managing system resource usage based on your needs and preferences.
