Obligatory screenshot - http://www.gnome.org/~jamiemcc/tracker/tracker-search-tool.png * Revamped Rdf Query engine * New lighter design with big dependencies like libextractor having been dropped in favour of lighter and optional metadata extractors * includes new extractors that can use totem or mplayer * New options to tune tracker for your system. We now have a --enable-low-memory setting for use with computers with less RAM and a --turbo mode for those who want indexing to take place as fast as possible * New snowball stemmers have been integrated into Tracker to provide some of the highest quality open source stemming around * New language specific stopword lists to prevent indexng of common words (which are of little value) * Can optionally make use of Pango word breaking for full internationalisation support What is it? Tracker is a personal search tool and storage system that allows you to search and enhance your personal data with the minimum of fuss. It allows you to find the proverbial needle in your computer's haystack as well as providing a one stop solution to the organisation, storage and categorisation of your data. What does it do? Tracker trawls through your data and organises it so that it can be retrieved extremely quickly later on via simple searches. This organisation puts your data into categories so that application like photo managers and music players can instantly find relevant content automatically Tracker enables you to tag your data with keywords which can be used to find related information or to group and categorise your data further Tracker lets you extend your data with additional metadata -- Mr Jamie McCracken http://jamiemcc.livejournal.com/ _______________________________________________ gnome-announce-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
