SYNOPSIS
tracker-search [OPTION...] EXPRESSION [EXPRESSION...]
DESCRIPTION
tracker-search searches all indexed content for EXPRESSION. The
resource in which EXPRESSION matches must exist (see --all for more
information). All results are returned in ascending order. In all
cases, if no EXPRESSION is given for an argument (like --folders for
example) then ALL items in that category are returned instead.
