Yeah, right now the cleaner is - well, new, and very basic. It gives near to 
no information on its purpose and what the user can expect, nor on what 
happens if you abort it (I think it restarts but the steps already finished 
are done much quicker so it's not a big deal).

I think it makes most sense to tackle these for the 4.11 release - until then, 
this is a stop-gap measure for people who experience issues with a slow 
Nepomuk.

I still can't get over how big the difference is, btw. I've considered the 
cool "search for: documents/images/videos/Audiofiles" thing in Dolphin a mere 
gimmick for systems with very little data on them, for example, because 
neither my laptop nor my desktop were capable of showing results in any 
reasonable time frame. Right now, I've started using these: plenty fast, even 
with the many thousands of results in each folder on my desktop. LOVE IT.

I haven't experimented with the search functionality in Dolphin yet but the 
alt-F2 krunner has become more bearable (still, if you have more than 10 
results, it is kind'a pointless. Somehow a 'show results in dolphin' kind of 
button is dearly needed). For me, personally, Nepomuk cleaner was what was 
needed to make Nepomuk useful.

openSUSE is close to RC and I think all I'll be able to do is talk this tool 
up and warn users about it, but if Vishesh comes to trying to fix it up in 
relatively short order, who knows what patches can be shipped by openSUSE, 
Kubuntu and other distro's as part of their upcoming releases ;-)

Hugs,
Jos
