Tracker does not search in filenames correctly
Last modified: 2010-03-04 11:07:04 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have tried to move from beagle to tracker but one issue is stopping me from doing so because it makes it useless. Having a file called foobar.png I have to search for "foobar.png" to find it via tracker. It finds stuff by metadata or file contents just fine but when I know that I have a file that contains the string "foo" in its name tracker is unable to find it. With beagle this works just fine. Steps to reproduce: 1. Try to search for a file using a part of its filename 2. Notice that no results are found 3. Use the whole filename -> it works Actual results: It cannot search by partial filenames Expected results: It should find the files that contain the string in there name. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
I think this problem has been fixed in Tracker 0.7.x branch, as when you search for "foo", actually it's looking for "foo*", returning "foobar.png".
Yes, prefix search is now supported.
