While digging, I've come that far, too. Can't say I'm happy, because
tracker-preferences at least made it quick and convenient to remove
the
index directories.
$ gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-recursive-
directories []
$ gsettings get org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-recursive-
directories

Ouch! It's using GVariant format strings.

Big *sigh*. What a poor decision. So much about making desktop user
friendly. It's not even possible to uninstall it because of
dependency
hell and libs usage:
Feel free to maintain it if you prefer it over the configuration that
is available via control-center or gsettings.
