I would like to be able to search all my images metadata when searching via Nautilus or Activities. So far I have not been able to do anything more than search image file names.
I know that GNOME uses tracker to index files and run the integrated search. But when I search for a tag I've added to an image file, that file is not returned as a result. Either when searching via Nautilus, Activities, or on the command line.
I tried tracker search -i Road and received no results.
If I run tracker info imagename.jpg, a little ways down the returned list is:
'nao:hasTag' = 'urn:tag:Road'
I also tried using dconf-editor to browse the settings, as suggested in the documentation for tracker. I did not see any settings that jumped out as helpful. Maybe I just missed something?
