baloo is a complete PITA

I'm trying to nuke the baloo indexer.
I'm happy to manage my own indexing, and baloo is a complete PITA.
I've included the following line in /etc/rc.conf
baloo_enable="NO"
The horrid baloo thing still launches when the host is started.

I've also tried balooctl disable but that just seems to turn the baloo off until the next restart, then we have the whole baloo battle all over again.
I can't pkg remove kf5-baloo because too many other vital packages will also disappear.
I will try adding a @reboot baloo disable to /etc/crontab
Please, is there a right-way to get rid of the dreaded baloo ?
Thanks in anticipation of any tips or clues.
