You can change the crawling settings through dconf (either with dconf- editor or the dconf CLI); its under /org/freedesktop/tracker/miner/files.
If memory serves me correct I fixed this by disabling the tracker- miner-fs-3.service file; but it only appears with the '--user' option to systemctl:
systemctl --user status tracker-miner-fs-3
○ tracker-miner-fs-3.service - Tracker file system data miner Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/tracker-miner-fs-3.service; disabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/user/tracker-.service.d └─00-uresourced.conf /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead)
Nautilus has tracker-miners as a dependency, if you remove tracker entirely then its search function won't work anymore (in my experience).
