As I started the indexing with default values from a terminal, I can see what it is indexing. I see it wasting time with /home/cer/LOG_imapsync/, so I open the config to exclude that directory; but it continues indexing the path. Seems to ignore configuration changes done while indexing is running.

That pretty much sums up my experience with desktop search. Great idea, but still half-baked 20 years later. When search for something specific, a result set with more than 10 documents is worthless. If I wanted to pick through a long list, I'd just use ls. Hey, maybe this is the first killer-AI app yet to be written. All you need is a data-center full of GPUs to train on your particular files.
