Is there a way to change the limit in tracker-needle like you can in
tracker-search?
Only programatically, the limits are defined here:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/tracker/tree/src/tracker-needle/tracker-needle.vala#n59
Is there a way to specify the application type in tracker-needle like
you can in tracker-search (example: documents via -t)?
In the primary/initial view, each file type is shown in a separate
category, but you can't JUST limit it to one category right now.
In either tracker-search or tracker-needle is there a way to limit the
search scope to a specific file extension, or path? (I'm not asking how
to limit the indexing scope).
Yes.
In tracker-search:
File extension is more accurately done with nie:mimeType because unlike
extensions, implementations detecting file mime types can use binary
blobs and other mechanisms to detect the actual content type.
You could also use a regular expression on nfo:fileName. Paths can be
filtered or queried using nie:url too. There are other functions
available here too:

In tracker-needle:
Extension searching may work using '*.txt', I'm not sure.
Path searching is possible using the second icon from the left.
