What happens if you run "tracker info [path and filename]" (e.g. tracker info /home/user/myfile.mp3) or open a terminal in the folder where the file is and run "tracker info [filename]"?
I am having an issue recently where images don't show in Photos - but querying with tracker info shows that they have been indexed, but indexed incorrectly somehow (show as size zero, and not as images). I can manually reindex them and it then works, but obviously that isn't ideal. Perhaps this is a similar problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to tracker in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460897 Title: Tracker not returning known results Status in tracker package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: tracker Tracker is not giving me results when I query a known-existing string. I have a large collection of MP3s that are indexed on a mdadm RAID5 array that are shared through Samba. I have many ZZ Top albums on this share but Tracker will return 0 results when the query "zz top" is used. A similar search for "acdc" also returns 0 results even though many songs exist in the indexed locations. The total files indexed by the Tracker daemon is 337951, 49562 of them being identified as music in the "Statistics" dialog. Most queries return correct results, these were just two that I tried to verify that the Tracker was working correctly, and it isn't.
