Bug Description

It appears that gnome-main-menu checks to see if beagle is running before showing the search field. This means that although you can have it use tracker-search-tool via gconf-editor, there is no search command available unless you have beagle running! This, of course, makes no sense and makes it really hard to use tracker with gnome-main-menu. Either there should be an additional check for tracker, or there needs to be a search tool independent way of looking for such things via dbus or something.

Hi

Found a quick hack here:

Need to try it to see if it has been fixed upstream.
