Hi Michael,
as a matter of fact a magnifying glass is the symbol for "Search" for many 
programs and for example the Tango project. However in the case of Tracker a 
telescope is a very good idea. In my opinion one should emphasize that Tracker 
searches 'deep down under the surface', i.e. many different file formats are 
indexed. So a microscope might be even better.
