I'm very green in dbus programming. I pulled the code underneath out of
trackergui.py and it seems to work. Could you give me a hint on how to
fetch stats (ie owner or filesize)?

import sys,os,dbus,re
#from mainform import *

class TrackerClient:

        def __init__(self):
                bus = dbus.SessionBus()
                obj =
bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Tracker','/org/freedesktop/tracker')
                #self.tracker = dbus.Interface(obj,
'org.freedesktop.Tracker')
                self.keywords_iface = dbus.Interface(obj,
'org.freedesktop.Tracker.Keywords')
                self.search_iface = dbus.Interface(obj,
'org.freedesktop.Tracker.Search')
                self.files_iface = dbus.Interface(obj,
'org.freedesktop.Tracker.Files')

                #self.version = self.tracker.GetVersion()

                #Self service eheheh
                #self.services = self.tracker.GetServices(True)
                self.services = ['Files','Development
Files','Documents','Images','Music','Text Files','Videos']
                self.query_id = 0

        def search(self,text,service='Files',offset=0,max_hits=-1):
                self.returnedfiles =
self.search_iface.TextDetailed(1,service,text,offset,max_hits)
                if len(self.returnedfiles) > 0:
                        return self.returnedfiles
                else:
                        self.on_tracker_error("Nothing files found")
                        return 0
