Bug Description
Binary package hint: tracker
I keep my IRC logs in ~/irclogs/
I was frustrated that Tracker didn't seem to be looking inside these files. However, upon investigation, I found that if I renamed the files from .log to .log.txt, Tracker seems to do a better job of picking them up.
However, searching by keywords is still pretty meager -- for example, I've got 100+ bugmails in a maildir with xserver-xgl in the subject line, but searching "xserver-xgl" only finds one recent one. Searching "ubotu" and "<ubotu>" only brings up a few private messages with the bot, though I'm sure EVERY single #*buntu* logfile should have at least a ubotu invocation or two.
Beagle definitely did a better job indexing keywords than this. What can I do to make tracker perform better?

It might be mime types - tracker decides what to index by mime type. I will investigate it and get back to you
for log/chat files we will support arbitrary locations in the near future
