I have a PDF file called
~/Desktop/HR508.pdf
and I've installed Tracker 0.5.4 on a gNewSense GNU/Linux system (an
Ubuntu Dapper derivative) using the repo pointed to by the Tracker
download page.
I let Tracker index my home directory and I used the Deskbar search to
look for
hr508
Tracker found nothing. I renamed the PDF file to "hr508.pdf" (note the
case change on "hr") and searched again. Tracker found the file!
I renamed the file back to "HR508.pdf", searched again, and Tracker did
not find the file.
Trackerd's log file said:
05 Feb 2007, 14:30:39:669 - Executing detailed search with params Files, hr508, 0, 100

So it seems that case changes somehow throw off Tracker's ability to
find files.
Any help with this would be appreciated (besides renaming all of my
files to avoid uppercase letters). Thanks.
