@Carlos Garnacho I have tested this on a low-end laptops first with no tracker and then with tracker installed with default configuration (and there our problem lies.) The default configuration is just unacceptable.
1. Why does tracker index bzr, vendor, pycache folders by default? I put my git projects inside documents. You can literally see that with tracker daemon -f. Also, It should ignore any directory starting with "." by default 2. There are many other configuration available in Gsettings which aren't exposed in GUI. 3. I configure following things: -- enable-writeback false -- index-optical-discs false -- index-on-battery false -- index-removable-devices false -- ignored-directories ['core-dumps', 'CVS', 'lost+found', 'po', 'vendor', '.git'] -- ignore-stop-words true -- ignore-numbers true -- max-words-to-index 1000 -- removable-days-threshold 3 ? (I don't not understand this) After this the system is somewhat working well. There are no aggressive indexing. All files can still be searched from shell. Documents, Bijiben etc works without any problems. There are many options which can be disabled during compilation. For example extractor metadata for ps.gz, gif, iso, xps, abw seems pretty useless to me (who use it and why?). These can be disabled during compilation. I will keep testing but I believe tracker can be enabled in Ubuntu with proper default settings keeping it at absolute minimal level. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666676 Title: Install tracker by default Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: For Nautilus' built-in search to not be very slow, Nautilus needs to use tracker for search. This is especially important since it's being seriously proposed for Ubuntu 17.10 that we drop the "type-ahead search" patch that reverted the removal of that feature by Nautilus years ago. (LP: #1666681) To not cripple Ubuntu GNOME, it was previously decided to let Nautilus build against tracker but not use that functionality on Unity. See this patch: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- desktop/nautilus/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/ubuntu_tracker_only_on_GNOME.patch This bug is requesting that patch be dropped and the extra tracker components be allowed into main and installed by default in Unity.
