Martyn: my problem is that often the results of tracker are not exhaustive, which make it much less useful... for example, if I search for "Jiles":

(0)pern:~/www/DEA/sp4% tracker-search Jiles
/home/romano/research/ferrite/biblio/Jill-Atherton-spice-model.pdf
/home/romano/research/ferrite/biblio/Brachtendorf.pdf
/home/romano/research/ferrite/biblio/verilog-a-mag.pdf

/home/romano/research/ferrite/imtc07-journal/57tim12-lizonmartinez-proof.pdf
/home/romano/personal/pubblicazioni/ferriti-asymm.pdf

But

(0)pern:~% grep Jiles **/*.tex | wc -l
25

which are at least 25 files which have Jiles in it but are not shown in tracker. So the problem are not false positives, but false negatives.

I have re-indexed several times and yes, I have untex installed since day one.

Anyway, tracker is still very useful and growing well, so thanks for the effort. I just hope it could be improved.
