Tracker does not search what I want

Bug Description

Binary package hint: tracker

Steps to reproduce:

1. Search using tracker for 'icky'
2. Look at the end of your ~/.Tracker/tracker.log
3. See that it searched for 'icki'

So, I want to search for 'icky' to find the White Stripes album, and I don't find it because Tracker searched for 'icki', not 'icky'.

tracker uses stemming (like any good indexer) and the stem word for "icky" is "icki"

if you are not getting a match it could be because the file is an mp3 and you didn't have the gstreamer ugly plugins installed when you first indexed

Anyway pls test using 0.6 in gutsy and reopen bug if problem persists

Thanks for the explanation. It's a .zip file; when I extract it, the contents do get found when I search 'icky'. However the .zip itself not.. When I rename the .zip to something else the problem does not occur..
