Thanks for your comprehensive reply.

I'm stumped as to what is causing this TBH.

When I execute `balooctl disable`, `~/.config/baloofilerc` is updated by adding
the following to the top of the file:

>    [Basic Settings]
>    Indexing-Enabled=false

Once I reboot, the above is once again deleted from the file and baloo_file
keeps running.

Making it read only once it is disabled works. Thanks!

Yes, these snapshots are elsewhere in the filesystem, but I specifically
disabled `baloo` from indexing those locations a while back:

```
exclude
folders[$e]=$HOME/.cache/,$HOME/.local/,/mnt/,/run/media/,/.snapshot/,/home/.snapshot;/config
```

No, the device number and inode remain unchanged.

No, the `DocID` stays the same.

I get a single result.
