How to get rid of this tracker-extract for good?

Support
1

I use almalinux 8 and 9 and both have this tracker-extract that runs forever at 100%.

I don’t intend to use any gnome search ever and I don’t want that app to be running at all.

Whenever I kill it, it comes back.

How to disable/delete it for good and prevent it from reappearing after an update?

I’ve tried everything I could find but it either doesn’t work or the services don’t exist.

systemctl list-unit-files doesn’t return anything called tracker

tracker-miners-3.1.2-4.el9_3.x86_64 : Tracker miners and metadata extractors
Repo        : @System
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/lib/systemd/user/tracker-extract-3.service
Filename    : /usr/libexec/tracker-extract-3
  1. The tracker-miners package is required by nautilus. Who wants GUI File Manager anyway?
  2. Note the path of service: /usr/lib/systemd/user/
    user – not system
    systemctl status and systemctl --user status do show different processes …

As root I get:

# systemctl --user status tracker-extract-3
Failed to connect to bus: No medium found

In Gnome session as regular user:

$ systemctl --user status tracker-extract-3
○ tracker-extract-3.service
     Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit tracker-extract-3.service is masked.)
     Active: inactive (dead)

The rpm -V tracker-miners does not show any file from package as modified.
In my account I might have done something to disable tracker. Cannot remember.
