Description Yurii Kolesnykov 2020-08-13 09:45:37 UTC 
SUMMARY
Full content indexing of home folder keep returning to the settings, no matter how many times I remove this specific folder settings. And there is no option to disable full content indexing in a folder drop-down menu. I see only 2 options: full content indexing and disable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open search settings in system settings.
2. See that your home folder has full content indexing.
3. Try to disable it via drop-down menu.
4. See that there is only two options: full content index and disable.
5. Remove this folder's settings by clicking red trash icon next to it.
6. Switch to some other settings section and back to search.

OBSERVED RESULT
Full indexing of home folder keeps returning.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be at least some way to disable full content index of home folder.

Indeed. I believe it's planned to allow disabling full content indexing for specific folders at some point in the future. I've CC'd Stefan who was working on that at some point.
