Sorry, we are going to disagree!

I would enthusiastically support adding ~/.cache and ~/.local/shared/Trash to
the default exclusions. 

I would find it very sensible for Baloo to index all filenames and metadata
(such as xattr tags) under $HOME, so that if you open tag folder you see all
the files you've so tagged (not just those under ~/Documents, ~/Music etc
etc...). That's probably a bigger job.

However, I don't see restricting the folders indexed, as Fedora does, provides
a lot of benefit. My rationale is a lot of the memes are now "well old", from
my experience it's quite OK to leave baloo indexing in the background, in fact
it does remarkably well nowadays.

I do have a proviso here though, the system needs to be running systemd and
have memory accounting enabled, otherwise the MemoryMax limits won't be
enforced. It also ought to have power management working so that content
indexing stops when running on battery.
