Great! Good idea.

This is a difficult question because the existing section we've linked
to in the help system is part of the Gnome upstream manual and doesn't
address tracker currently.

Given that we already have a "Managing Files > Searching for files"
page, we need to work with that. Probably this should be done by
including an extra section in the existing manual, if tracker
complements the nautilus feature; or rewriting the existing section,
if tracker replaces the nautilus feature.

You can simply write the material if you like, and I'll add it to our
branch of gnome-user-docs [1] which I started playing with yesterday.
Or, if you'd like to try using bzr, you can check out the branch
yourself and make a patch.

If tracker is also included with standard Gnome (don't *think* it is,
but not sure), then we should try and get the material included
upstream too.
