- If you have several thousands of files, Obsidian may freeze a few seconds at startup while the Omnisearch cache is

**Omnisearch seems to make Obsidian slower.**
- Once Obsidian has indexed your files at startup, it doesn't do anything while its modal is closed. Your changes are
not indexed until you open the modal again. If you experience slowdowns while using Obsidian, it's unlikely that
Omnisearch is responsible.
- However, Text Extractor can make Obsidian slower when indexing PDFs and images for the first time. If you don't need
those features, you can disable them in the plugin settings.
**Omnisearch is slow to index my PDFs and images**
- The first time Omnisearch indexes those files, it needs to extract their text. This can take a long time, but
will only happen once. This process is also resumable, so you can temporarily disable PDFs/images indexing, or close
Obsidian without losing data.
**Can I index PDFs/images on mobile?**
- Not at the moment. On mobile devices, text extraction either doesn't work or consumes too much resources.
- The first time Text Extractor reads those files, it can take a long time to extract their text. The results are then
cached, and indexing shouldn't take more time than your average markdown note.
