However, unlike locate, baloo is meant to index not just file names, but also metadata tags and relationships relevant to files, emails and contacts. Its devs would argue it has a small footprint. So it is meant to be*more* than a simple file name indexer.
But what is the POINT of said index? If there's no point it's just a total and complete waste of time and space!
So, far the only point I'm aware of is it is supposed to make kmail run faster - an application I've never used.
