Thanks for the information, I am using gnome-search-tool for my searches and it is pretty good, Gnome Files I didnt use much. As for configuring tracker I wasnt able to find any config files for it where I can tell it to avoid indexing contents of files, perhaps I will submit a bug/feature request with Gnome, I checked this:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker/Documentation/Configuration But it didnt help and I think it refers to an old version of tracker. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702878 Title: Cant add folders to Search in Gnome Control Center To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1702878/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
