# Disable local search (indexer) in GNOME
I recently disabled and masked the local search indexer in GNOME, and now my HDD can rest in silence!
``` bash
systemctl --user stop localsearch-3.service
systemctl --user mask localsearch-3.service
rm -rf ~/.cache/tracker3
```
Before, this damn indexer made me angry by waiting for the filesystem to unlock while I was coding, especially with Firefox running and caching those "modern" web pages. It was maddening. I hate the money/feature makers, SSD traders, and their users - especially the users. I should have thrown out your ugly software long ago instead of installing the required one.
