I have just installed plocate to try it on F34, and got:

warning: /etc/updatedb.conf saved as /etc/updatedb.conf.rpmsave

I reviewed the changes, and the new file is empty. Users will notice
the difference. Is that expected? Is it because I'm still on F34?

Also, the plocate-updatedb service was not started after installing
it, so I can't use locate until the DB is created. Is that expected?
Does it wait until the timer runs it?
