Uh, it's *not* enabled by default? Is it carried over from Gutsy then? I never had an issue with it until I dist-upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy, but I sure didn't intentionally enable it. I have removed it after finding this. My problem: not a huge amount of code/text files in my home directory (at

Ok 100Gb is no problem if majority is not text files, docs or source code - size matters not in those cases a non-dev will typically have loads of music and video files which will have negligible footprint on any indexer. A dev will likely have tons of source code and that will tax any indexer.
