It's hard to make these statements simultaneously be true. There's clearly a
trade-off between correctness and efficiency here. Unless nautilus pokes
tracker to wake up and do a shallow (no previews, etc.) index/force-refresh the
searched-for directory unthrottled right away? Then that would be the
equivalent of a "classic" search, except that the gained data would be
available in the tracker DB for the next time.
