Hello @pedrobaeza the indexation is being called directly from the base module. It will occur even if we do not install This is a query over a database without
The Adittionally, there will be cases were you will want to have this feature of no indexation, but without uninstalling another modules that depends on So, this module disables indexation directly from the base, and without having to lose other functionalities. |

Thanks for the explanations. I think they are very interesting to be added to the README as well. |
This module is intended to disable the indexation of data on the ir.attachment model. Attachment model has a field called 'index_content' where the content of the attachment is read and stored directly in the database. This field is useful in order to search content of a file. But most of cases it is not used, so, you can install this module in order to: - **Avoid Duplicating Data:** Because indexation extracts text content from files and put it on the database in order it could be searched, but this implies you have the file data in your `filestore` directory, and also part (or sometimes all) of that data in your database too. - **Improve Performance:** Since not all indexed files are plain text, they require extra process to read them. Maybe you could try to uninstall modules like `document` in order to disable its indexation features, but you could face the uninstallation of other modules that could be useful for you (e.g, `hr_recruitment` depends on that). But even if you don't have `document` installed, you'd still have plain text content indexation by default. Using this module you will not require to uninstall any module to disable the attachment content indexation, because we directly disable it at `ir.attachment` base.
