Description Bastien Nocera 2012-07-30 00:00:05 UTC 
Bug 613252 requested the addition of application-driven indexing, and API was added to that effect. Unfortunately, it seems that the indexing requested by applications will not be prioritised ahead of whatever else tracker is indexing.

Background indexing tasks should stop to yield for application requested indexing, so as not to block populating results that would used straight away.

Hi Bastien, we should have a priority queue for those requests and it should be handled before all other items. If this isn't working it's a bug indeed. Will take a look or ask Carlos to check this out when he can.

This was eventually addressed.
