This growth is not able to be retarded, there is no logrotate and can only be stopped by turning the daemon off every session. I can find NO ability to stop it being loaded very session and/or stop it indexing every browser page and retain HDD directory only. This is resources waste on a huge scale and disk space consumption without restriction. 1Gig of index files is nothing to ignore and it slows loading of every browser page when CPU resources are already stretched for many users -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Apart from disabling Beagle Indexing I cannot find any way to Un-install Beagle from FireFox. It is listed in FF as an 'Extension' and provides disabling of the service but NO mechanism for retaining Apps/HDD indexing but excluding FF.

Its a system extension. Remove the beagle-firefox package.

The reason why I am requesting disabling of default indexing of FF is this service must be the biggest waste of resources by any default I have seen. Indexing of FF, I would assert provides functionality of search etc, that few if any users actively utilise and is not worth of any default process.

This has been discussed many times on the mailing list. There is an open -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I would not be concerned with anything utilizing resources when idle, however the basis of the bug reports is resources are used in real time to index FF browser pages. The Performance of FF browser pages is sluggish at the best of time and to add indexing of browser pages chews up resources and slows down each page and a user may never utilize searching of any browser page. Indexing of FF by beagle is removed from default in 11.0 KDE so I am happy. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
