Bug Description
Binary package hint: tracker
Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and Tracker 0.8.17, and realized that Tracker does not index .php files content (it is useful to me when searching for the place a function name is used).
Activating the tracker-extract log, I can read :
>>> Could not find any extractors to handle metadata type (mime: application/x-php) <<<
In /usr/lib/
Does application/x-php files need a specific extractor ?
I was expecting that .php files, because they contain plain-text (PHP script text), would be indexed as well.
Couldn't the libextract-text.so applies to such mime types as well ?
I can see in libtracker-extract page on the wiki (http://
Or is it required to create a new specific extractor ? (which is out of my knowledge)
Thank you.
More generaly :
The idea is more about which files types Tracker should index : to me, php files (like many others source code extensions), should be indexed because they contain text.
I am not sure if adding such MIME types to libextract-text.so would be enough, but if yes, why not doing it ? I don't see any reason to NOT do it.
