The rpm description says:
tracker - Object database, tag/metadata database, search tool and indexer
Tracker is a desktop-neutral object database, tag/metadata database, search tool and indexer.
There must be a GUI to it!
The wikipedia says "Tracker has been adopted by the GNOME desktop environment and is heavily integrated into GNOME Shell and GNOME Files."
Ok, how do I use it? I don't see it in Nautilus (aka gnome files). I see a search button, but I do not see how to search for a file pattern with a certain content. [...] Ok, found it, and it does locate the "cucarachas" files.
Not easy at all to find it, and each time I need it I have to search first how to do it... Took an hour!
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking?
Me neither... I don't know if I did it right.
If you started the unknown program from the XFCE menu, then go to the menu entry, right-click and select properties to discover what it is invoking.
I'm on another computer now. It seamed to be "gnome-search-tool". Now on this laptop machine, I see instead another tool called "catfish" which works. I don't know if it has a content database, because it seems to use locate; and I don't see how to enter both a file pattern and a contents pattern. The nautilus search, which now I know where to find it, worked instantly. So, problem solved :-D -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 (Legolas))
