Probably underscore is not considered a valid word breaker by the
Unicode wordbreak algorithm. Tracker's FTS algorithm is only able to
look for full words or word prefixes, and therefore looking for "name"
will not return the "test_name.txt" result, in the same way as if you
look for "est" or "ame".
