thank you for your reply.

here (ubuntu 9.04 with tracker 0.6.93) when I search for a word I get
only exact matches, it doesn't search for substrings in words (for
example searching for "foo" I get only results with the word "foo"
inside file path, name and content, but not files with the word
"foobar")

same here, the tags are in the database but tracker-search does not find
them, the only way to search for the tags is "tracker-tag -s TAG".
I remember that with a previous version of tracker (maybe 0.6.6?)
tracker-search-tool could find the tags correctly.
