Re: [Tracker] search expression for exact match

["Pavel Duda" <pavel duda cz ibm com>]

Hello Sam,
I was testing pure tracker search as
well as tracker-needle and Gnome3 tracker search plugin (which is just
tracker frontend as far as I know). 
I read in tracker-search man that "tracker
search searches all indexed content for _expression_" so I assume it
doesn't accept any regexp pattern and if I would like to do that I have
to feed the output into eg. grep? 

Thanks
Pavel

How are you performing the search? Are you using the `tracker search`
commandline tool or something else?
