  Those APIs are not free and takes some kernel resources.

  I was hoping to support the same file indexer that Plasma is using hence my work on Baloo. On my roadmap, I plan to also support Tracker.
  For Windows and Android, I have implemented an indexer with Qt + KFileMetaData APIs. I was just hoping that Baloo would provide live refresh of queries. I have to check if Tracker does it or not.
