I've got tracker indexing both home and html directories. The problem is
that it's not finding the php files, though it finds lots of other files
in /var/www/html. Also, it will find the same file with the extension
changed from .php to .txt immediately. Thus it seems to have indexed
build-class.txt immediately but never indexes build-class.php.

It was ack that didn't seem to have any way to give results from more
than one directory and its subdirectories at a time. ack did find the
php files without any difficulty.

I take the last sentence back--tracker does not seem to be finding
any .php or .html files.

It seems to index the .txt files right away. Why would it take longer to
index the .php files? In fact now, several hours later, it's still not
returning any .php files. It does seem to return .php files that have
the search terms in the title (e.g., 'tracker-search build-class'
returns '/var/www/html/build-class.php'.
