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