Personally - I'm a bit skeptical of Tracker actually being better than Beagle. I don't have anything substantial, but my instinct on this is that writing a desktop search engine is actually really hard - not barfing on bad files (inherent tension with supporting lots of file types), figuring out all the touchy details of when to do the indexing[1], etc., and that unlike Beagle, Tracker actually hasn't seen wide deployment so it hasn't yet been truly tested.
