# File Search Settings

This &systemsettings; module allows you to configure which files should be indexed for fast searching. It internally uses a technology called Baloo to efficiently search through the files.

Exclude Folders

- You are presented with a list of folders which should not be searched. By default your entire $HOME directory is indexed, and no other drives are indexed.

  Removable media is never indexed by default. It can be explicitly removed from the list of exclude folders and it will then be indexed.
