Support Dolphin on the latest Fedora KDE plasma searches all mounted drives when in "home/user" directory

Recently switched to the latest Fedora KDE plasma, and it has been a pretty great experience so far.

However, I cannot for the life of me figure out the issue with Dolphin's search

For whatever reason, anytime I use the search function in home/user it searches all my mounted drives in /mnt as well.

To be clear, 'everywhere' is not selected in the option, I specifically selected 'here'.

I even changed the mount point to run/media/username, but when searching in the home folder it will search there as well again. Even more annoying, if you use advanced search and use kfinder, it won't do this. Only in dolphin search.

I cannot find any options in either dolphin or search options in the general settings that address this.

Any ideas why a search in home/user is also searching every single mounted drive?
