Filesystem indexer for faster full-text search in Nautilus. But if I'm not using Nautilus to search for files or in files, it's just extra memory bloat and extra IO

Tracker also enables GNOME Shell's search feature, which provides search results for applications and files, and returns values from supported applications (e.g. GNOME Calculator) and extensions.

Tracker is GNOME's analogue to Spotlight (from macOS/iOS) and Windows Search.
