Current Gnome settings does not provide disable permanently to not start tracker processes. On my desktop in my home directory I have more than 1TB of files in my home directory and tracker is killing my desktop performance.

Out of curiosity, can you tell us some more about your directory hierarchy? For example, do you have Git repositories in ~/Documents or something?
I have no git repos in ~/Documents but I have a lot of files in this directory which I don't want to be indexed. I think that there are many desktop users which don't want to have any indexing processes or processes providing location services. At the moment tracker library is linked with nautilus and few other. By this is not possible to disable tracker by remove some packages.
Settings -> Search -> gear menu That should let you disable the indexed locations.
Problems is that I have disabled completely search and tracker processes are started and they are consuming some IOs. Only way to disable those processes is remember after open GUI session to execute "tracker reset --hard". Is search is disabled those tracker processes should be probably not started so seems like we have kind of bug.
