[Tracker] Metadata search Tracker Gnome



Installed stable but old Tracker 0.8.17 on Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome. :-)
Using Graphical User Interface to do a test search of metadata in an image file on my desktop. Result: Found the image by its filename( qpw.jpg ) but not by my metadata search term ( Beaudesert ) in the IPTC or XMP of the image. :-( I am guessing that the executable file "tracker-extract" though installed is not reachable by "tracker" GUI for some reason. Browse with Nautilus to my location /usr/lib/tracker contains also executable files:
/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-extract
/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-miner-fs
/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-search-bar
/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-store

Terminal:
johnb johnb-desktop:~$ which tracker-extract =-O
johnb johnb-desktop:~$ which thunderbird
/usr/bin/thunderbird :-)
The command "which" and name of application"thunderbird" above shows, i assume, that "Thunderbird" is correctly installed and reachable. If so then "which tracker-extract "above, shows as NOT correctly installed? If so then the four Tracker executables above may not be correctly installed since there is no link for them between the files in /usr/lib/ and /usr/bin/ as there is for Thunderbird. There are 11 other tracker executables in my /usr/bin/ including the Tracker GUI "tracker-search-tool" Are my assumptions correct or am i barking up the wrong tree? :-P
Cheers JohnB O:-)
