Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought GNOME only depended on
tracker-store and not the indexer?

If GNOME now depends on the indexer, that is incredibly good news.
Perhaps this cycle we might get useful search in GNOME; in nautilus
and the shell at least....

I have been using tracker happily for years to manage large
collections of papers and documents and could not live without it.
