There is a KIO slave for tracker [1], which works pretty well. The
nice thing is, you can use it from any KDE app thanks to the power of
KIO. I had made deb for it [2], some time ago.
Unfortunately, Andreas Eckstein, the kio-find upstream has been busy
with other stuff, so kio-find hasn't seen any updates for quite some
time.
