Fully agree! I had the same issue with tracker-search-tool on Fedora 14 a while ago. One of the 
updates introduced it as dependency for solang. Th next day I was downloading some 12 GB of photos 
off a memory card using Rapid Photo Downloader and couldn't quite figure out why the download seemed 
to finish but I still couldn't get the card unmounted -- tracker was scanning it for some 
unfathomable reason. Solution?

rpm -e solang tracker tracker-search-tool

Sadly, tracker affected my interest in Solang... Why do I need another search tool on my system? 
Already have locate. KDE comes with it's own stuff (which I disable by default). Now another one 
sneaks in...
