Thanks -- my main concern is to get tracker indexing the contents of my .txt and .pdf files (and the rest, but that's for later). tracker webpage says: tracker-extract FILE -- this extracts embedded metadata from FILE and prints to stdout on my system, tracker-extract FILE when invoked on a text or pdf file gives nothing in stdout. I conclude tracker does not extract anything. Question: does this little test succeed for you? If yes, then I conclude sth's quite wrong with my system. cheers, must -- --- Michael Johnson <ahze@ahze.net> wrote: > On 3/13/07, Must Karu <mustikas008@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > can anyone confirm that ports/sysutils/tracker > search > > works properly on FreeBSD?
