Can you please report the crashes? Even with no index all, nothing should ever crash. The categories file is needed - it was added on request for the Elementary software center, and Apper uses it too (I plan to remove the requirement of it later though, which is a bit oft work, since I don't want to break ABI - but AS 0.7.2 already contains work in that direction). This file should be shipped by the Fedora package though, if it isn't, it's a bug in the packaging. --- Matthias P.S.: Can you verify that the Xapian cache is present in /var/cache/app-info/xapian ?
