If you want to disable the indexer/searcher trackerd and tracker-applet, which are run for every user, follow the steps.
1. Disabling tracker for globally (for all users)
Edit /etc/xdg/autostart/trackerd.desktop file with root priviledges (sudo vim, gksudo gedit ...)
Add "Hidden=true" to the end of the file
Do the same for /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-applet.desktop if you want
1. Disabling tracker for your user only
Enter the directory "~/.config/autostart", create it if it does not exist
Create a file named trackerd.desktop
Paste the following into the file, save and exit
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Tracker
Hidden=true
When you logout and relogin, you will see that trackerd is not running.
