does anybody aside from me find it extraordinarily horrible that the tracker db is both
A) completely inaccessible to the end user due to lack of documentation {i, for one, would like to wipe out everything but the texts and call history to improve the responsiveness every once in awhile, and run manual crawls only}
and
B) a more or less complete history of everything youve ever done on the phone, from texts to web downloads?

i dont understand why texts and call history and contacts are in the same place as my file cache, but it makes it extremely tricky for me to extract my text history, back it up nightly, and restore it in case of bricking.

is there documentation somewhere that could let me pull out the bits i like, and exercise some amount of control over this?
so far, all ive found is a way to stop crawling my home.
~/.config/tracker-miner-fs.cfg

also, i would really like to backup/restore texts and call history in some really reliable fashion instead of the hack-and-slash way ive been doing it.
