Bug Description

Binary package hint: tracker

Tracker does not find all content. This problem occurs in all files. This problem consist of several sub problems

1. Tracker does not adequately search my evolution IMAP. I have send myself an email with a very specific word. If I use that word as the input query than no results are returned. Also, any other possible input describing the email failed to have tracker return the email. I can see that tracker recieves file system updates when I recieve email.
2. When I create a new file I can see, by tailing the log file, that tracker receives filesystem information. I can immediately search on the newly created filename. Very good. I can use tracker to search on content. Even better! However, when I reopen the file and change it's contents and re-search using the added content or parts of it as the input to tracker than tracker failed to return the document, though I can clearly see, by using the same tail on the log file, how tracker receives filesystem updates.
3. Although I have re-indexed all my current content, tracker fails to return the correct files based on keywords as input terms. Some input queries work however but you really need to be lucky.

Basically tracker doesn't work very good as it comes to searching on content. Sometimes it works. I really want to solve this. If i can help in debugging/testing. Please let me know.
