== Global Search Application
An application which indexes local files and content and supports searching

opening results in their respective application.
Maemo 5 uses Tracker 0.6 to consolidate most of metadata of files
indexed already.
Harmattan (Maemo 6) is extensively using current Tracker master branch
and utilizing SparQL language as its query mechanism.
Tracker master (0.7.x) and Tracker 0.6 use different storage backend
and query mechanisms, it is quite a big difference, and it seems most
of non-file based data is going to be indexed as well, according to
the ontologies being developed.
You can find current maemo-specific modifications of Tracker at
http://maemo.gitorious.org/tracker/, these are synced well with
Tracker master at gnome.org.
If you want to develop something useful for Maemo 5 and 6 indexing, it
would logically be good to at least learn what is happening in this
area already and co-operate with existing code running on the device.
I see, thanks for the hint! I saw this "tracker" on the project proposal
page and
it didn't catch my attention because I thought it was somehow refering
to the bug
tracker or something. I was wondering what it did there and I didn't
realize it
was a project itself! That makes a lot of sense, no doubt. I'm reading
through
the Tracker wiki on gnome.org now to learn more about how the whole
thing works.
Building on tracker for a desktop search app would of course be the most
obvious
thing to do!
Thanks again.

Carol
