  <title>My documents are not shown</title>

  <p><app>Documents</app> supports only certain types of documents such as
  PDFs and office suite documents such as spreadsheets and word processor
  documents. It will not show text documents and photos.</p>

  <p>For your local documents to appear in <app>Documents</app>, they must be
  inside your <file>Documents</file> or <file>Downloads</file> folders, or
  inside folders that are in those directories. Documents that are in other places
  on your computer will not be shown.</p>

  <p>If your documents fail to display in <app>Documents</app>,
  <app>Tracker</app> may not be running or properly configured. Make sure
  <app>Tracker</app> is running in your session. The default configuration, set
  to index files in your home directory (non-recursively) and XDG folders
  (recursively), should be adequate.</p>
