How to use plocate?

I use mlocate to find files on my hard drive.
Today I’ve found plocate.
It seems that it should be faster and better optimized alternative for mlocate but… It doesn’t search / index files from my home directory.
I run plocate test, and it has found some files in system directories, but it didn’t find files in my Documents directory. And there are files with “test” in name.
I tried different options like -i but it didn’t help.
I also did updatedb.
