Summary:
C: Configure file indexing with Tracker
Description:
C: >-
<p>The Desktop Search application (usually separately installed)
finds content which is indexed only. Using this application, you can
quickly configure what data on your system you want indexed or not
indexed. Not only that, you get to control how it is indexed to
ensure indexing does not impede daily use of your computer.</p>
<p>Some of the preferences you can configure using this application
include:</p>
<ul>
<li>What locations you index</li>
<li>When you index (e.g. not on laptop battery)</li>
<li>How you index (e.g. aggressively or in the background)</li>
<li>Black listing files/directories based on globbing pattern matching</li>
<li>Reset the database and reindex your content</li>
</ul>
