+`default/systemd/system/plocate-updatedb.service.d/10-omarchy.conf` ships through `omarchy-settings` to `/usr/lib/systemd/system/plocate-updatedb.service.d/10-omarchy.conf`. It replaces the existing service's `ExecStart` with `updatedb --prune-bind-mounts=no --add-prunepaths=/.snapshots`, keeping Btrfs subvolume mounts searchable and excluding Snapper snapshots. The upstream service retains its timer, resource limits, and sandbox; Omarchy's existing AC-power condition still applies.

+`/etc/updatedb.conf` remains owned by plocate and is never rewritten by Omarchy. The command-line options override bind-mount pruning and add to the administrator's existing path exclusions. Installer and AUR package refreshes pass the same options directly because installation may run without systemd and an explicitly requested refresh should work on battery.

+Arch's systemd package hook reloads units when the vendor drop-in is installed or upgraded. The settings package containing the drop-in must ship alongside the runtime package that removes the old configuration helper and migration. Pacman removes those retired files; no new state migration is needed. A running indexer finishes with its original options, and subsequent service starts use the drop-in. For an immediate local test after installing the packages, restart `plocate-updatedb.service` while connected to AC power.
