Well done on the release! I downloaded and built the tarball on Ubuntu edgy, using the included debian directory without any changes (except 'dch -i'ing to make the package with the right version number), and then of course installed the new libtrackerclient0, tracker, tracker-gnome-search-tool, tracker-utils debs.
I removed the old ~/.Tracker directory and set the new tracker indexing, with the --turbo switch. After that was all done, I ran a few test searches, and unfortunately, there still seem to be problems. To be sure, I've since rebooted, re-removed ~/.Tracker and set trackerd to index everything again, but without --turbo. Same story. Firstly, I have a (text) file called "Jesus May Ball photos" with various words inside. I ran a search for eaden (it's a name inside in file) and this returns no results. I then did a 'cp "Desktop/Jesus May Ball photos" Desktop/place', and watched ~/.Tracker/tracker.log. The result was this: 07 Nov 2006, 12:33:02:221 - File /home/markrian/Desktop/place has finished changing 07 Nov 2006, 12:33:02:227 - saving basic metadata for *new* file /home/markrian/Desktop/place with mime unknown and service type 8 07 Nov 2006, 12:33:07:717 - Total entities index : 2567 07 Nov 2006, 12:33:07:717 - Please wait while remaining data is flushed to the inverted word index. This may take some time... 07 Nov 2006, 12:33:07:719 - flushing data (3 words left) - please wait 07 Nov 2006, 12:33:07:720 - flushing data (2 words left) - please wait 07 Nov 2006, 12:33:07:721 - flushing data (1 words left) - please wait 07 Nov 2006, 12:33:07:762 - flushing data (0 words left) - please wait 07 Nov 2006, 12:33:07:762 - All data has been flushed - waiting for new file events... It seems that the mime type is unknown. If I do the same operation but append a .txt to the file name, the following happens: 07 Nov 2006, 12:53:32:504 - File /home/markrian/Desktop/place.txt has finished changing 07 Nov 2006, 12:53:32:508 - saving basic metadata for *new* file /home/markrian/Desktop/place.txt with mime text/plain and service type 6 07 Nov 2006, 12:53:32:512 - Extracting Metadata for *new* file /home/markrian/Desktop/place.txt with mime text/plain and service type 6 07 Nov 2006, 12:53:37:906 - Total entities index : 2576 07 Nov 2006, 12:53:37:906 - Please wait while remaining data is flushed to the inverted word index. This may take some time... 07 Nov 2006, 12:53:37:912 - flushing data (17 words left) - please wait [...etc...] 07 Nov 2006, 12:53:37:920 - flushing data (0 words left) - please wait 07 Nov 2006, 12:53:37:920 - All data has been flushed - waiting for new file events... And searches for eaden return the result of places.txt, but nothing else. If I search for 'jesus ball' then I get the result "Desktop/Jesus May Ball photos" as expected. The second problem is that I have a file called bills_Maids_Causeway.ods. If I run a search for "bills maids causeway" no results are returned. If I search for "bills_maids_causeway" then I get that one result. The same effect can be seen with files named-with-dashes-like-this.txt. The third issue involves a test file I created, called 'whisper'. The file, which I created in gedit, contains only the line: I hear the sound of ticking clocks Tracker's log picked it up, and registered the file with the correct mimetype, text/plain. When I run a search for "ticking here", the file whisper appears in the results. Is this expected behaviour? I would have thought that search implied ticking AND here, not ticking OR here. The fourth and final issue involves the other test file I created, own_way.txt, containing the line: To the end of the last page. Searching for 'last' returns no results, and the log contains the following interesting entries for this: 07 Nov 2006, 13:09:34:256 - Executing search with params Files, last 07 Nov 2006, 13:09:34:257 - tracker_indexer_get_hits: assertion `(indexer && words && words[0] && (limit > 0))' failed 07 Nov 2006, 13:09:34:257 - search returned no results I hope this information helps. If anyone would like more details/tests, just say. Again, well done to all involved with this release! Tracker is *totally* awesome.
