Hi Mario,
That is not the result I hoped for :( I will need to generate some
random large text files to test & debug on my end.
Regards,
Jaap

I think I submitted my request circa 2014 under the previous bug
tracking system - was it hosted by Ubuntu-one? - but yes, the idea
is similar.
I just downloaded the development version, extracted it into a
temporary folder, and ran it via the ./zim.py command.
Indexing took some 15 minutes. Below a snapshot of what top was
saying about the execution.

Please let me know if there is more I can do.

Yes that explains, those large files will have a big impact on
the indexer.
You are referring to this issue: Make indexer ignore text files
that are not zim pages · Issue #907 ·
zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki (github.com)
<https://github.com/zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki/issues/907> which
is fixed in the development branch and will be in the next release.
With that fix the indexer will read the first line of each file
to decide whether it is a zim file or not, and if not it will not
try to access the contents.
Would be great if you have a chance to test the development
branch and see whether it works in practice for your case !

The folder contains 3118 ".txt" files, for a total of 2GB of
data. Some large txt files are attachments. A long time ago I
submitted a request to avoid indexing these. Not sure it has
been fulfilled though.
Thank you,

Can you indicate how big your notebook folder is? Either an
extreme case, or some bug making it take much longer than
needed.

Thanks Jaap, I was not aware of this.
To give you an idea, I just restarted Zim, and indexing
kept a processor 100% busy for 13 minutes to come to an
end. It was nice if this could be avoided.
Thank you,

The indexing is not used for searching alone, it is
also needed to e.g. present the page tree in the side
pane and to track links

Hello,
I may be the only one, but with my quite large
notebooks I do find the
search function impractical, and for this reason I
never use it. Still,
when it starts, Zim goes crazy for a long time
indexing, and I came to
the conclusion that this is normal.
If this is the case, I would like to file a
requirement to add the
ability to make indexing optional.
Thank you,
mario
