Package: beagle
Version: 0.3.9-3
Severity: normal

beagle-settings, in its main window, has a checkbox "Start search &
indexing services automatically".

If I deactivate this option, I expect that beagled shouldn't do indexing
even when the daemon is running. But that isn't the case. With the above
mentioned option unchecked, I noticed that beagled still does a lot of
read (basically indexing). You can verify that if you enable the
block_dump.

Since beagled can be a performance hogger at many times, I'd like to
set it up in a way that it be used only on a need be basis.

Ultimate goal is something like this:
* Run beagled all the time because beagle-search needs it to query. But
  beagled should remain idle i.e. No Indexing.
* Have a cron job to run "beagle-build-index" at 2 AM every day when the
  machine is idle.

I think the checkbox option is for what I'm stating in this bug report.
But from what I've checked, it doesn't seem to be Not Indexing when
beagled is running.
