Not really. You can track what it is currently indexing, but you won't even
get a % done. Maybe we should implement some kind of progress bar indicating
the amount indexed. I think I could do that in an ad-hoc manner. Anyway, you
can track what is being indexed by System Settings->Desktop
Search->Currently indexing ( or something like that. It's a button. )

Internally Nepomuk uses a recursive call on each directory which is to be
indexed, filters out all the files/folders and then passes the files it
should index to Strigi. The amount of data read ( from the file ) depends on
the Strigi Analyzer. They don't usually (?) read the contents of the entire
file, but I'm not too sure about this.
