since you did not use the preformatted text tags (</> button) we cannot see the right end of those log lines and do not get the full detail.
Please post again using those tags so we may see the remainder of the lines that contain Owner of volume monitor org.gt along with all the other lines.

No need to repost, I edited your text.
In the future, you can start and end Preformatted Text by typing three backticks (```) in a separate line, or you mark the text and hit the </> symbol in the editor’s toolbar.
As for the issue, I don’t see anything wrong in the status or the logs. The reason could be that I gave you commands related to tracker-miner, however, your issue is related to tracker-extract`, which is different. Apologies for the confusion. So, let’s repeat this… run…
systemctl --user status tracker-extract-3.service
LANG=c journalctl --user --no-hostname -u tracker-extract-3.service
Interestingly, I see similar issues as @thfedo

I wouldn’t worry, or do you experience any problems (when searching for file contents in Gnome)?
Everything seems fine, the only thing is that Firefox closed abruptly but I think it has nothing to do with that error
