tracker search not working?

[Must Karu]

Thanks -- 

my main concern is to get tracker indexing the
contents of my .txt and .pdf files (and the rest, but
that's for later). 

tracker webpage says: 

tracker-extract FILE  -- this extracts embedded
metadata from FILE and prints to stdout

on my system, 

tracker-extract FILE

when invoked on a text or pdf file gives nothing in
stdout. I conclude tracker does not extract anything. 

Question: does this little test succeed for you? If
yes, then I conclude sth's quite wrong with my system.
 

cheers, must
