gnome-documents doesn not show plain text files

[aaron-bru]

Searching for text files with in gnome-documents does not work, nor from the activities overview. I frequently use plain text files (.txt) as documents, so would like to have them searchable.

Even better, allow me to search for any file I want from the overview.

I do have tracker installed, and it is working great for other document types.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Upstream bug report is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687565
I think I added a bugwatch as well

I'm closing this bug since the GNOME developers do not intend to add text file support to GNOME Documents as it doesn't fit with their design goals.
