I do not understand the purpose of this piece of software. It seems that when I found out about it and removed it, the only functionality I lost was being able to "quickly" search using the toolbar in Synaptic?
Surely that's not worth heating up my computer for. I manage fairly well with Ctrl+F to search (or whatever your hotkey might be.) Does the new "Software Center" thingy use it? If it does, I don't see why it should; the traditional search in Synaptic is just as fast when you consider that actually redrawing the list view takes just as long as the actual search. Further, I don't understand why you need to index metadata on top of apt, surely apt-cache or whatever has all this information available somewhere already? This all seems very complicated for absolutely no gain at all. There is probably some purpose to it that I can't see. But at least it's gone from my computer from now on. -- update-apt-xapian-index bogs down system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655831 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
