It does index all plain text files that it detects however if it has a mime type other than text/plain then it checks the filters directory to see if a filter is defined for it. If not present then no text is extracted. all the latex/tex needs is a filter to call untex on it (in tracker/filters/text) patches for above welcome
It should be fairly easy to extract metadata from .tex files too. Like Author and Title (if present - and set through the standard LaTeX macros). If this weekend turns out to have something like 500 hours I might look into it :-) Cheers, Mikkel
