Hi,
I don't often have to compile things, but today compiling a kernel and I see tracker-* stuff soaking the CPU at 100% for several of these things and piles of messages in the journal.
Is there a way to tweak this by default? Maybe have it only index when the computer isn't being used? Maybe not at all when so many temporary changes are happening all at the same time like during compiling? I shouldn't have to know to create an embargoed area within my home directory to keep this tracker thing from going nuts like this. If I should file an upstream RFE let me know what component to set it against, the default behavior is not friendly in my opinion - kinda reminds me of OS X Spotlight.
Thanks,

There is a preferences app, but I don't think we install it by default. It *would* be nice to have that more obviously available, and I think the defaults could be examined. (Enable when running on battery is the default, I think, and while I see some sense in that for people who mostly operate on battery and charge when not using the computer, it's also a potential source of a lot of drain.)

You can configured the indexed locations in the search panel.

Yeah, but indexed locations is not the same as adjusting the usage for battery and using CPU/IO while trying to do other things.

Thanks,
I use a file named .trackerignore on my source files projects parent directory. I don't use GNOME UI to seach for source code so it works for me.
