Tracker is a search system for Linux and other Unix-like systems. Tracker is known for its speed, which comes partly from being written in the fast C programming language. Tracker is similar to other search systems such as Beagle (also for Unix variants), Spotlight in Mac OS X, or Google Desktop under Microsoft Windows.
Nautilus has support for both Tracker and Beagle.
One of the developers of the Conduit application has suggested using Tracker to create "a metadata-enabled GNOME" [ [http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/blog/index.php/2007/02/06/a-metadata-enabled-gnome/ » A Metadata Enabled GNOME Johns Blog ] ] , which would be similar to using Strigi as an indexer for a metadata framework in KDE 4.
