It does index all plain text files that it detects however if it has a 
mime type other than text/plain then it checks the filters directory to 
see if a filter is defined for it. If not present then no text is extracted.

all the latex/tex  needs is a filter to call untex on it (in 
tracker/filters/text)

patches for above welcome
