Stop Baloo from indexing home folder?

Looks to be working perfectly now!
For anyone facing the same issue, you must follow these steps in order:

  1. balooctl disable
  2. balooctl purge
  3. Reboot
  4. balooctl enable

And to answer your question:

Just curious… if you want to exclude /home… why use Baloo in the first place? Why not uninstall it?

I have a secondary drive with documents on it that would be nice to access from search. As far as I know there’s no search that offers better integration than Baloo does.

Issue resolved. Thank you!
