Thanks for the information, I am using gnome-search-tool for my searches and it is pretty good, Gnome Files I didnt use much. As for configuring tracker I wasnt able to find any config files for it where I can tell it to avoid indexing contents of files, perhaps I will submit a bug/feature request with Gnome, I checked this: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker/Documentation/Configuration But it didnt help and I think it refers to an old version of tracker. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702878 Title: Cant add folders to Search in Gnome Control Center Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I go to Gnome Control Center-Search the bottom right gear is greyed out and I cant add any folders to Search. lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

tracker 2.0 does not provide tracker-gui any more. If there are search settings you need to be able to configure but can't, please file a bug with GNOME. There is one other place to customize file search but I think this only affects the Files app search and not what is actually indexed. 1. Open the Files app. 2. Click the Files app menu in the top bar and select Preferences. 3. Switch to the Search and Preview tab. 4. Turn off "Full Text Search: Set as default" Now when you do searches in the Files app, only file names will be searched by default. To do a one-time search for file content also, click the little drop down arrow next to the search box and choose Full Text. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702878 Title: Cant add folders to Search in Gnome Control Center Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I go to Gnome Control Center-Search the bottom right gear is greyed out and I cant add any folders to Search. lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

sudo apt install tracker helped and now the icon is no longer greyed out. I checked the bug you linked and I definitely think that search in new Ubuntu Session needs to be improved, Unity dash searched for all my files easily and they were always very quickly accessible, KDE does the same with Baloo indexing, everything is easily found in KDE menu search.

I think it could be a valid design decision to show the gear button disabled if tracker isn't installed/running. On the other hand, it doesn't provide any information to the user about what's wrong. Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.
