Yes. Beagle doesnot allow searching for substrings.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332673

I am also not aware of any hacks to achieve this. However, in some
cases (like filenames) beagle tries to guess and split the word if its
composed of a number of smaller words (e.g. beagle-design-doc-v3.txt
will be broken into beagle, design, doc, v3). I can only think of
filenames where this happens and even there, arbitrary substrings
arent searchable.
