As of 1/6/2017, this has somewhat improved
Tracker recurses but:
- without a reset only finds 90% of content
- with a reset, does not find everything anyway

1. Tracker still only finds 90% unless it is reset. So, reset like:
tracker reset --hard <<<y && tracker daemon --start && tracker daemon 
--list-processes && tracker daemon --follow

1b.Optionally, in a second window you can see file-by-file progress like: 
tracker daemon --watch

2. Sometimes Extractor does not start: when File System reaches Idle, Extractor 
should start within 2 s. If it does not, go back to 1. If it fails again, you 
are unlucky.
- Extractor may take long time like hours to complete, but provides progress 
every 10 minutes.

3. Whatever you have now is the best you are going to get. There are
some amount less than 10% of content that tracker is not going to find.

to see how many folders tracker found:
tracker status --stat | grep Folder
  nfo:Folder = 1646

dpkg --status tracker | egrep "(V|Pa)"Package: tracker
Version: 1.10.0-1ubuntu1
