[Tracker] Matlab m-files content indexing.

[Jason Farquhar <jdrf zepler org>]

First off, thanks for meta-tracker its a neat system and I think its great.

However, I can't seem to get it to index the contents of matlab .m
files.  Only the file-name seems to be indexed -- even though the mime
type is recognised as text/x-matlab.

So my question is, is there some way of adding this mime-type to the
list of file-types who's contents are indexed by tracker.  I've noticed
that there is a /usr/lib/tracker/filters directory which seems to
contain shell-scripts for filtering different file types.  Should I just
write a 'null' filter here (which just dumps the un-filtered text data)
with the name x-matlab_filter to get tracker to index this mime type?
Or is there more to it than that?

On a related point a page on the tracker-wiki or somewhere on the web
clarifying how to add new file-types would be great.

Thanks,

Jason
