We do use paging kind of :)

The paging should be done better, right now we only get the first n results
(1000 I think). I need to change the way we draw the results so we only get
the ones we see initially and preload the others in the background. Will
take some effort though.

I was thinking of that too, as the most elegant solution, but I agree
on the effort part. I was curious if GTK+ actually makes it easy?

Actually, yes. I have done it before. What makes it hard or the "effort" for me, is figuring out how to do it in Vala actually :)

* does not display results for PDF docs

What all PDF documents? Works fine here! Are you sure you have support
compiled for tracker-extract?

TST works fine. I'll test again in future.

OK.

Also, there is now a tracker-needle component in Bugzilla and I have rebased
against master tonight.

Will use that, thanks.

Thanks for the other fixes.

Oh, and I really miss Categories. Are you sure it's not the best idea
for Needle? There's a lotta times when I only wanna see PDF or HTML
results, for example.

Actually, I think it could be added without much work, question is where and how. Perhaps using the file and icon views make sense with an "ALL|PDF|Folders|Music|..." combo box.

The issue with PDF/HTML is they're specific mime types and right now we show specific classes (like documents) which cover more than just PDF.
