Public bug reported:

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> 
About Ubuntu
- 21.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

tracker-miner-fs:
  Installed: 3.1.3-1
  Candidate: 3.1.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.1.3-1 500
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen
- Ubuntu indexes the files in the background at a very low priority.

4) What happened instead
- Ubuntu grinds to a halt and the CPU usage is off the chart right after I boot 
up when search indexing is enabled. When checking the "System Monitor" it is 
always "tracker-miner-fs-3" consuming all of the resources.

I have been having problems with tracker-miner since 20.04 LTS and so I
upgraded to 21.10 and I'm still having problems with search indexing
bringing my system to its knees and making Ubuntu clunky and unusable.

I have attached a photo of my system specifications.

The fix for me was to completely disable search indexing: Settings >
Search > Turn Off Search Indexing. After doing this, my system is
running perfectly again with low CPU usage!
