How To Disable Tracker-Miner Completely?

Hey All,

There was a time, way, way back when during Gnome 2 or 3 when a user could disable the tracker-miner application entirely. It wasn’t simple, and I no longer remember what all the steps were, but back then I did successfully accomplish it.

But, many years down the road, I find that I still don’t use that feature. I’d much prefer not to have the associated processes running and to have any database derived from them no longer exist on my system.

Would someone here please tell me how I can make those things happen in Gnome 48?

Many thanks!

You could disable some search folders,

but if you change menu, it will search for it and add new entries as part of search mechanism. This mechanism for menu is deep broken and in reminiscence of 80s at least, so envy current search folders in GNOME settings and be grateful for this, a lot of worse underground happens outside of GNOME and freedesktop.org menu standards of which some of desktop user experience of GNOME is on old shit build upon. So maybe GNOME developers could do some silly work and may doing some great work again.

until then, thinking what is underground do some harm to common people like GNOME developers, those who knows what’s going there are above dementia in broken glass windows experience.

Thanks for your reply and suggestion!

I’m aware that I can disable folders. I’ve done that. But I’d still prefer not to have to monitor that, or to have to deal with it at all.

Thanks, again, for your thoughts.
