Tracker now works out-of-the-box on Maverick!
==================================================
CRISIS AVERTED!!!
Only a few days ago I posted a call for help with the local search plugin. For several reasons, I was considering giving up on Tracker as our search backend, and using Strigi or Recoll or something else instead. However, it turns out that Tracker 0.8.7, which is available in the standard Maverick repositories, *does* work with our dbus-based plugin just fine -- after minor modifications, that is.
This modified code is already in the PPA, so update your Cardapio installations and give it a try RIGHT NOW!
Note, though, that due to a limitation of Tracker 0.8.x the filename search plugin is case-sensitive. This is not a problem if you use Tracker 0.9.x. Alternatively, to get around this issue, you can also use the full-text-search plugin instead, which is case-insensitive in both 0.8.x and 0.9.x.
Happy searching! Let me know what you find :)

PS: You should also give the subfolder search feature another shot, as it's now much more stable. For instance, type "ho/mu" to show the contents of "Home > Music" in Cardapio. Or just choose "peek inside folder" from the context menu.
