Re: [Tracker] text search is implicitly always OR

[Samuel <sciyoshi gmail com>]

Also, as I said earlier, there's a difference when matching
"wallpaper" vs "wallpapers", or "pictures" and "picture", or
"accommodate" vs "accomodate". Ideally, there should be some sort of
stemming (Porter, for example) and maybe the double metaphone
algorithm to do fuzzier matching. Of course, the Porter stemming would
bring up issues when using Tracker in other languages, though I think
there are also algorithms for French and German (that I know of).

Cheers,
Samuel
