[Tracker] Tracker used on a webserver to index uploaded documents

Hi !

(I'm not subscribed, so if you could please keep me CC-ed)

I was wondering if it makes sense to use tracker on a webserver to index documents (pdf, ppt, doc, images,..) uploaded by users. The web-app could then have a search box and query tracker to return the results in the webpage.
This raises some questions:
* Can we use dbus in conjunction with a web-app. I'm using the turbogears framework in python, i guess i can use dbus without glib mainloop if i don't need to listen to signals
* Do the results get back quickly, since i guess i'll have to make sync-calls ?
* Is this just a crazy idea, and i should instead use the extraction libraries directly, and..
* What would i gain by using tracker instead of the extraction libraries directly (beside the advantage of having a ready-made solution)
* What about security ? feeding tracker with more or less random queries from the web could be dangerous ?

Any other comment is welcome!
