This bug still exists for me in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx using tracker
0.6.95-1ubuntu6. Tracker does not index text from djvu files out of the
box, although djvu_filter is present in /usr/lib/trackers/filters/text.
The filter requires the package djvulibre-bin, which is installed on my
system.

After much searching, I was able to get tracker to index my djvu files
by following the instructions at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=460260#30 . In short, it is necessary to:

1. Create a symbolic link at  /usr/lib/trackers/filters/images/vnd.djvu_filter  
pointing to  /usr/lib/trackers/filters/text/djvu_filter 
2. Edit the file  /usr/share/tracker/services/default.service  to add 
"image/vnd.djvu;" to the "Mimes" line under the [Documents] section.
3. Remove the file at  ~/.local/share/tracker/data/common.db
4. Restart tracker and reindex.

DJVU is a good open alternative to PDF for scanned documents, so it
would be nice if tracker could recognize text in djvu files by default —
without the above procedure, the djvu_filter shipped with tracker does
absolutely nothing.
