File Indexing

By default under KDE, Debian 6 indexes files using nepomuk which can be suspended on the desktop, but that is only valid for one session. If you reboot then you have to suspend it again, so I've been looking for a way of turning it off completely.

And here it is - at the menu choose

Settings -> system settings -> advanced tab -> desktop search -> disable Nepomuk Semantic

This kills it dead and should last until you either turn it back on again or you reinstall!
