tracker-gui

[Colin Law]

Is it a bug that tracker-gui is not available in 17.10? This is a
tool for configuring the tracker search tool that is used by Ubuntu
Gnome. It was available on 17.04 and I found it essential as the
default search path and settings only copes with a basic install.

Answering my own question I understand that tracker-gui has been
deprecated by Gnome and that the settings are available in Settings >
Search. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work correctly for me so I
will file a bug about that. This may be informative for anyone that
is interested.
