 I don't remember in the "old" version, in the new one
(indexer-split), when the daemon is searching the indexer stops
commits all pending changes into the DB. So yes, you can search the
content indexed at that point.

 Try to avoid the direct access to the DB. Take into account that
quite soon the DB schema can change. If you still want to do it, you
need to pause tracker-indexer (it has a dbus method for that) before
reading and close everything properly so it can continues after your
queries.
