That's good to know...

If you are happy to search for just the filenames then you don't have to turn
on the "Content Indexing". It's the opening, reading, converting to text and
indexing each word of each of the files that takes the time.

You can follow the indexing as it is happening by running
    balooctl monitor
and you can get a feel for how fast it is going. Baloo does "index in real
time" in that if you change a file, it notices and updates the index. It's just
that when you want to rebuild the index, it's a lot of work.

It looks as if you are indexing your Wine (maybe?) folders, that can include a
*load* of files. If you are indexing hidden files and folders, it probably
makes sense to exclude the .cache and .local/share/Trash
