I don't know who needs or uses these newer 'helpful' system indexer /
search utilities. I get along fine with findutils. And my system no
longer threatens to 'bog down' for seemingly interminable periods of
time when it is most inconvenient. Since ditching 'tracker' and
'beagle' and 'akonadi' my system stays reliably responsive and is much
more pleasant to use. (oS 11.4 x86_64 GNOME)

ymmv of course but hth & regards,
