[Tracker] Incomplete search results in Gnome Shell

[Dimitrij Lisov <dmt lsv gmail com>]

Hello!

When searching for filenames in the Gnome Shell (normally triggered by the "windows" key) the results differ from the Files (Nautilus) ones.

Let's assume, that we want to find a file called "Honorarnote.odt" (that's German for an invoice).

So entering "honorar" in Gnome Shell finds nothing, but Files instantly finds "Honorarnote.odt" or the like. Curiously, Gnome Shell only shows some results when fully typing "Honorarnote".

Is this by design or a bug?

Wouldn't it be better, if the search results in Files and Gnome Shell would be the same?

Observed in Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 (mostly with Gnome 2.20) after a fresh installation.

Thanks in advance!
