I use Live MX Linux every time that I need to largely re-partitioning my disks with KDE Partition Manager.

Not a "persistent Pendrive"; just a recently "burned" DVD with KDE ISO. (Yes, I use to include a DVD unit when I assemble a new PC).

But apt-xapian-index is what makes Synaptic search work, and on my (several) MX installs it is turned on.

Synaptic search has been working fine for me on my Kubuntu without any apt-xapian-index. Maybe you mean libxapian30
