Correct, so instead of your app indexing just your app’s data, the plugin is indexing everything. I’d imagine that kind of solution would benefit from a setting to tell it at least which ID you’re interested in, so that if you’re running a private node, the impact is less than someone running a public node that indexes all IDs.
