Disable/Remove Full Text Index

amazing2061 · 08-31-2022, 11:45 AM

I have Calibre installed on 2 laptops and one desktop computer sharing the same database in the cloud with OneDrive and with the full text search/index feature enabled. The problem is when I open Calibre it needs/wants to download the full text database file which is in my case 3.5GB. I realize now I don't really need that feature on my laptops (which is a problem if I'm somewhere with a slow wifi connection) so I would like to know how I can remove/disable/delete the full text search/index feature from both my laptops. Thank you.

open the full text dialog, click the show indexing status button, turn off indexing. After you do that its safe to delete the full-text-search.db file if it bothers you.
