Re: [Tracker] Incomplete results + lack of integration in Gnome for contents searching



For the memo:

I found this old bug report closed as "won't fix" for gnome-shell:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645326

I also opened a bug against nautilus:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776398

I hope they will be considered. Content searching is too hidden in Gnome, as a result it is one of the rare 
area where Gnome is clearly behind.


Cheers,
Jean-Christophe

Hello Carlos,

Thank you for your answers!

That looks indeed strange, most probably down to tokenization of this
document text having gone wrong somehow. Quickly checking here, I see
Tracker doesn't handle too well the the d'match french form, the other
appearances should still result in a positive match though.

Please file a bug and we take it there.

Done, it is there:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776395


gnome-shell search providers make sense with a backing application to
jump into when you click on the results. With the right tweaks
(changing the nautilus query so it doesn't do filename matching is
removing one line of code), nautilus has got everything to be that
application for generic file search.


Yes, that is a pity because Tracker works well and all the infrastructure is there, either from 
Gnome-shell, Nautilus or both.

Removing the restrictions would make it on par with what KDE has with Ballo/Krunner or Spotlight on MacOS.
It is very convenient and I am not aware of any pitfalls, so it is strange that Gnome hasn't moved forward.

As you suggest, I will try to advertise this idea on the Gnome side.

Thanks again!

Jean-Christophe
