[Nepomuk] hey, nepomuk works, sorta

[Sebastian Trueg]

Hi Bud,

by default hidden files are not indexed, thus files like .bashrc would not
be found. This behaviour is what most users would expect I suppose.

As for the images: could you please give an example of a filename and a
search term you tried.

Cheers,
Sebastian
