You can change this by editing the:

  ./src/miners/fs/tracker-miner-files.c +1570

In particular EXTRACTOR_DBUS_TIMEOUT which is set to 60 seconds at the 
moment. We should probably make that an environment variable for testing 
and general playing about with.

Great! :)

I would recommend you update to 0.9 to see how the patch applies against 
the latest and greatest. Additionally, we have a command to test this 
end-to-end more easily:

  tracker-control -f <file-to-reindex>

There is this internally used API (used only by the text extractor) 
which might be useful to you:


http://git.gnome.org/browse/tracker/tree/src/tracker-extract/tracker-read.h

If it is, we can push it into libtracker-extract.
Any problems, let us know, I'm sure we can help :)
