Localsearch-3 seems to have gone berserk after 2026-05-02 Stable update

The update went well, thanks developers!

The only problem I have is that the localsearch-3 seems to be gone berserk. It has been churning for 5 hours at 100% on all CPUs, even though the localsearch status shows the indexer is idle.

Summary

My system is pretty standard GNOME:

Ok. It seems that after a reboot, it churned again at high CPU around ten minutes, and then it stopped and started behaving.

Surprising.

If the database is broken, try to reset it:

localsearch  reset -s
