Heya,
I see quite a bit if misconceptions around the new search infrastructure in KDE. I would strongly suggest you read this article: http://dot.kde.org/2014/02/24/kdes-next-generation-semantic-search And this where we asked for help in testing: http://dot.kde.org/2014/03/12/applications-413-coming-soon-help-us-test
I put in a lot of time to write both articles, create liveCD's so you could help test, ask people for testing etcetera.
Definitely worth the read!
Now it seems some issues were not caught by testing. If you did test and filed a grave bug but it did not get fixed, you can complain about release management and you have every right to be taken very serious. You put in work, after all.
I've just updated to the latest Baloo and re-enabled it (clean config with no previous index). CPU load is not even noticeable. I cannot see any significant hit on the system at all with indexing. The index itself is a LOT smaller this time around (less than 1MB vs 6GB last test) - possibly because it did not traverse my network this time and try to index a 2TB NAS drive. The only thing I miss is an explicit On/Off toggle - and to be honest that would only be needed to toggle it off in situations where Baloo was either unwanted... or if things went crazy in some corner case. I've installed Milou as well... I assume that shows up as a somewhat transparent plugin to Dolphin etc? I've explicitly excluded /mnt/second_drive/Games, and I've explicitly excluded my NAS drive. I noticed that Baloo also auto-excludes USB sticks and external USB drives. Clicking through the search in Dolphin gives me some initial results. I'm not (yet?) seeing content related results (for example searching for text I know is in an ODT sitting in /home/$USER/Desktop. Am I expecting more here than Baloo can achieve? Searching on Filename gives the results I expect. So... disk I/O is practically zero during the initial indexing. Search works and presents results I'd expect (at least for filename content). Now I just have to figure out if I'd ever actually use it :-P C. -- openSUSE 13.1 x86_64, KDE 4.13 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
