With my obvious tracker maintainer bias, I support the move. Tracker has been slowly but steadily improving in stability throughout the 1.x series, the common complains about CPU and logging have decreased as well from where I stand. Although I also suggest you have a look at the settings and see if vendor overrides might make sense for your users.
Tracker is heading now to 1.12.x which according to the current plan will be the last 1.x release series (in preparation for 2.x), it will remain feature frozen but still open to stability and performance improvements. Khurshid: zeitgeist and tracker have little in common. Zeitgeist is about activity tracking, Tracker for these purposes is a filesystem indexer. The usecase being discussed here is nautilus indeed, but having tracker by default could make other gnome apps that strongly rely on Tracker work on Unity, like gnome-music or gnome-documents. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666676 Title: Enable tracker by default for Unity too Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: For Nautilus' built-in search to not be very slow, Nautilus needs to use tracker for search. This is especially important since it's being seriously proposed for Ubuntu 17.10 that we drop the "type-ahead search" patch that reverted the removal of that feature by Nautilus years ago. (LP: #1666681) To not cripple Ubuntu GNOME, it was decided to let Nautilus build against tracker but not use that functionality on Unity.
