> You could probably put equivalent functionality into the local Akonadi component for the benefit of local files, but once you're done you'll have implemented most of an IMAP server, and there are very good free IMAP servers around already.

I get the feeling they are trying to index EVERYTHING, without bothering to ask the question "Is this WORTH indexing?". Which is where users get so frustrated - the system insists on spending a large chunk of its (and by extension the user's) time doing stuff the user considers *counter*productive*. The classic example is pre-loading the office suite into ram for when the user wants it - I used to have three office suites, all of which I rarely used but sometimes needed, and on a system that's short of ram ...
