Which search bar?
Are you using tracker-needle and a recent version of Tracker?

Yes you can do this. There is documentation on how this works here:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker/Documentation/Examples/SPARQL/FTS

You may notice, this page uses tracker-sparql and raw queries, but 
tracker-needle uses fts:match "$STRING", so if you follow the rules for 
your $STRING, it should work as expected on the page above.

I should add, *tags* will not work this way, support for this needs to 
be added.

Perhaps I should put these rules into the starting page of 
tracker-needle so people have a clue about what they can do.
