So... I just did a fresh install of F27, and I can't seem to find tracker-preferences, so I can disable the annoying document indexer that keeps crawling my drives. Anybody have any insight into why this is missing from F27, or a workaround to effectively disable the thing?

I fixed it with these commands
mkdir ~/.config/autostart
cp /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker* ~/.config/autostart
cd ~/.config/autostart
sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/' tracker*
Reboot.
Then check tracker status: tracker status
Make a clean of the old database with: tracker reset --hard

dconf GUI:
/org/freedesktop/tracker/miner/files/crawling-interval is set here to "-2" (disabled)
plus: /org/freedesktop/tracker/miner/files/enable-monitors here set to "false"
These two might be some core settings to turn tracker off .. I doubt this really switches it off as a whole, but it seems it's a good start if one doesn't want or need it ... At least I don't remember having heard the fans roaring up over for quite some time, which IIRC happened when tracker started working ...

Then I'm not the only one to find annoying tracker ... useful like a bee into helmet.
as it is not possible to remove it, I disable tracker globally for all users:
$ sudo dnf remove tracker-miners
$ sudo sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=.*/X-GNOME-Autostart- enabled=false/' /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-store.desktop
$ yes|LANG=C tracker reset --hard
Note: when tracker will be update, the /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker- store.desktop file it will not replaced and the new desktop file will be renamed with .rpmnew extension
Hope this help

FWIW, I also found there's new menu options for search in the GNOME settings, where I can control some of its behavior... but not all the old options are there... and it's not quite clear how the new options relate to the old ones. It's nice that gsettings can control all the options... but it is in no way a substitute for a good GUI.
