       BOOLEAN
              Denotes either true or false.

       Any other value

EXAMPLE

       [General]

       Verbosity=0

       InitialSleep=50

Sections

   General
       This section may contain general settings for trackerd.

       Verbosity=VALUE
              Specifies  how  verbose trackerd should be logging. VALUE can be
              one of 0 through 3.

              0      Show no but  error  and  critical  output,  this  is  the
                     default behavior.

              1      Show minimal output, i.e. not just errors.

              2      Show verbose output.

              3      Show  debugging output, enable this only if you know what
                     you are doing.

       LowMemoryMode=BOOLEAN
              Enables low memory mode. Tracker may be slightly  less  fast  at
              indexing/search but also needs less system memory.

       InitialSleep=VALUE
              Enables or disables watching of directories, i.e. re-index files
              when they change.


   Indexing
       This section may contain indexing related options.

       Throttle=VALUE
              Sets the throttling value for the Indexer. VALUE can be any num-
              ber from 0 to 20 whereas higher values decrease indexing  speed.

       EnableIndexing=BOOLEAN
              Enable or disable the indexer.

       EnableFileContentIndexing=BOOLEAN
              Enable or disable indexing of files text contents.

       EnableThumbnails=BOOLEAN
              Enable or disable the generation of thumbnails.

       NoIndexFileTypes=FILEGLOB[;MORE;FILEGLOBS...]
              List  of  partial  file  patterns (glob) separated by semicolons
              that specify files not  to  index.  Only  basic  metadata  (i.e.
              information retrieved by stat(2)) is indexed.

       MinWordLength=VALUE
              Sets  the  minimum  word length to index. Words having less then
              VALUE characters will not be indexed.

       MaxWordLength=VALUE
              Sets the maximum word length to index. Words  having  more  then
              VALUE characters will not be indexed.

       Language=LANGCODE
              Sets  the  language  specific  stemmer and stopword list to use.
              Valid values are:

              en     English

              da     Danish

              nl     dutch

              fi     Finnish

              fr     French

              de     German

              it     Italian

              nb     Norwegian

       This section may contain Email specific options.

       IndexEvolutionEmails=BOOLEAN
              Enable or disable indexing or Evolution emails.


   Performance
       Trackerd performance related options.

       MaxTextToIndex=VALUE
              Maximum size of text in bytes to index from a file's  text  con-
              tents.  Defaults to 1048576.

       MaxWordsToIndex=VALUE
              Maximum  number of unique words to index from a file's text con-
              tents.  Defaults to 10000.

       OptimizationSweepCount=VALUE
              Specifies the no of entities to index before determining whether
              to perform index optimization. Default to 10000.

       MaxBucketCount=VALUE
              Sets  the  maximum  bucket  count  for  the indexer. Defaults to
              524288.

       MinBucketCount=VALUE
              Sets the minimum bucket count. Defaults to 65536

       Divisions=VALUE
              Sets no. of divisions of the index file. Default to 4.

       BucketRatio=VALUE
              Selects the desired ratio of used records to buckets to be  used
              when  optimizing  index  (should  be  a  value between 0 and 4).
              Defaults to 1.

       Padding=VALUE
              Alters how much padding is used to  prevent  index  relocations.
              Higher  values improve indexing speed but waste more disk space.
              Value should be in range (1..8). Defaults to 2.
