Description D.S. (Spider) Ljungmark 2009-01-17 18:18:18 UTC
Please describe the problem:
opening the tool and searching for "Predato" in order to find where the related movie subtitles were does not work.
 it suggests the quite useless "did you mean predat?"   and fails to find the subtitle file for "Alien versus Predator"

Oh,  do note that it _Does_ find the file when I search for the term "subtitle". 

The behavior makes it quite useless for simple location job of finding where a file went. 

Even more fun is looking for something like "vidocq" which you can quite easily forget how to spell.  Searching for "vido" gains you. Nothing. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Let tracker index files
2.  search for parts of the filename/directory name with a good level of exactness
3.  Fail miserably


Actual results:
A useless "did you mean?"   message

Expected results:
Finding partial matched words/filenames at least

Does this happen every time?
Yes. Several examples above

Other information:
version 0.6.6, Ubuntu 8.10
