Hi Anita,

 At the moment tracker doesn't index rtf files. By default tracker
doesn't have a rtf filter to extract the text from the files.

 If you really need the rtf support, you can install "unrtf" in your
system, and create a "filter script"
in /usr/local/lib/tracker/filters/application (if you are in a linux
based system).

 The script name must be "rtf_filter" and must contain the following:

#!/bin/sh
nice -n19 unrtf --text  "$1" > "$2"

 This solution is VERY slow, and the encoding of the result is ASCII
instead UTF8, but at least you can search in rtf files.

 Regards,

Ivan
