I have installed kubuntu 19.10 and krunner doesn't find many files, however baloosearch find these files as expected. And of course I have enabled the desktop search in the settings of plasma search.

By example: I have a folder plenty of PDFs and MDs (markdown) files located in a mounted disk (this disk is mounted automatically at the start). Then making a search in the console using the baloosearch command I can find any file there (I put some words or string of the name of a file and then the location and complete name of the file appear almost instantly) however writting the same words or the complete name of a file in krunner then for some files (specially the new ones) they doesn't appear except in the case that I used it recently.

My plasmashell version is 5.16.5. I added the section of plugins in the configuration file, as has been asked in a comment:

[Plugins]
CharacterRunnerEnabled=false
DictionaryEnabled=false
Kill RunnerEnabled=true
PIM Contacts Search RunnerEnabled=false
PowerDevilEnabled=false
Spell CheckerEnabled=false
baloosearchEnabled=true
bookmarksEnabled=false
browsertabsEnabled=false
calculatorEnabled=true
desktopsessionsEnabled=false
katesessionsEnabled=false
konsoleprofilesEnabled=false
krunner_appstreamEnabled=false
kwinEnabled=false
locationsEnabled=true
org.kde.activitiesEnabled=true
org.kde.datetimeEnabled=false
org.kde.windowedwidgetsEnabled=false
placesEnabled=true
plasma-desktopEnabled=false
recentdocumentsEnabled=true
servicesEnabled=true
shellEnabled=true
unitconverterEnabled=true
webshortcutsEnabled=true
windowsEnabled=false

However nothing unusual or strange is here. I tried enabling everything and restarting but nothing changes.

The output of ls -l ~/.config/krunnerrc is 

-rw------- 1 user user 7236 abr 16 04:08 /home/user/.config/krunnerrc

Someone knows how to fix this behavior?

I often use Krunner to quickly access often used files. Lately I changed my storage partition mount point, from /storage/ to /mount/storage/, but Krunner didn't record the change. It stills provides me a link to the old location, making it useless.

How can I delete Krunner's history or cache?

Currently on KDE 5 the KRunner dialogue brought up by Alt-F2 key, is not focused solely on desktop windows. It brings shortcuts to programs, search results etc, as well as the active desktop windows.

Other some alternative programs focused exclusively on window switching task, or can KRunner be configured to be restricted to desktop windows alone in certain contexts?

I am a big fan of krunner. But eversince I came across it I have been disappointed by its search function. When I am searching for a specific expression I normally use:

find . -iname '*heavymetal*'

The find-command ist very useful on my view. I frequently try to search with krunner but it is not presenting sufficient output.

So my question is:

Either: Is there a special syntax within krunner, which is giving me the same output or a compairable output to the find command?

Or: Is it possible to implement the find command into krunner or make a small script which can be implemented into krunner?

find krunner
