I guess I’m pretty late to the game - So I stumped upon DataGrip by JetBrain while I was reasearching for Database version control tools online. Loved it’s ability to show table diagrams and the neat color themes. MYSQLWorkbench crashes when searching string within the whole database.
All the features were amazing, but one thing has been bothering me. It keeps indexing like forever and I couldn’t do anything productively with it slowing down the typing. None of the answers online solved my issue.
After restarting the system and kept expoloring the app interface, it turns out that it was indexing my /user/* directoy.
