How to force tracker to re-index a folder?

Question

I'm using the tracker indexing tool to search for and in files on my Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 system. Having recently added some of files into a single folder I wondered how to force tracker to re-index this folder so I would be able to perform search-queries on these files.

Any ideas? A terminal command would be completely sufficient.

Answer 1

tracker should watch the directory and automatically index any added files - so make sure watching is enabled in the preferences. but generally, my experience with tracker has been that it works inconsistently at best.
