File indexing broken system-wide - Baloo Index could not be opened

My trick on Manjaro is to do this every time baloo gone crazy

balooctl6 disable

then check if it’s really disabled
balooctl6 status

you should get
Baloo is currently disabled. To enable, please run balooctl enable

then remove index folder
rm -rf ~/.local/share/baloo/
balooctl6 purge

then re-enable baloo two times like this
balooctl6 enable
balooctl6 enable
