[Tracker] [PATCH 0/2] Some improvements on t-s-t



Hello all!

I've been working on a couple of improvements for t-s-t.

1. I've noticed everytime you type a new letter in the entry box, a new search is performed in tracker. I 
think this is not very efficient, as user may want to look for a longer word, and intermediate searches are 
not useful at all. So this first patch only performs a search if 500ms passes by without typing any text.

2. The second patch allows to restrict searching to a specific path. This is done using special key 'path:' 
in the entry search. As example, entering 'offspring path:/home/user/MyMusic' will perform a search within 
/home/user/MyMusic. As it can be seen, this approach could be extendend in future with new keys and 
combinations.

While the first are quite interesting, not sure for the second one. I mean, I think it's useful, but I'm not 
sure if the choosen approach is the best one. The good part is that it can be extended to other keys, besides 
path.
