Hi Sajeeb,

I assume that you subscribed to this mailing list quite recently or did not 
follow it for a while. This exact topic was discussed [1] a short while ago on 
this list already. It was a quite... heavy discussion now and then, but I 
think everybody sort of agreed with each other in the end. In the meantime, an 
alternate KCM module for configuring Baloo is being developed [2], which does 
feature such a setting I believe. You should be able to use that one without 
much hassle. Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Thom
