Can you simply remove the package? tracker is a dependency for gnome-documents though http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/tracker/
Try reading the man page.

i didnt know the package name was just 'tracker'.i tried tracker-store , tracker-extract in pacman and i couldnt remove it.
i dont need gnome-documents.

now i removed both tracker and gnome-documents.

i wonder what its repurcusions would be?

Use pkgfile

[karol@black ~]$ pkgfile tracker-store
extra/tracker

or just pacman

pacman -Qo tracker-store

now i removed both tracker and gnome-documents.

You lose the functionality these packages provided, but you said you don't want the indexing anyway.

Re: (solved) tracker-store eats my CPU

i know i said i dont need indexing,but i was worried if removing this package would break something else.that's what i meant.
sometimes i  remove one offending package and just end up having someother trouble.(sometimes related sometimes totally unrelated).

i know that gnome-documents is something  i am willing to miss.

i could have done this as you suggest 'pacman -Qo '.but didnt know until you told me.
thanks for tipping me!
