Shotwell's search capability does not current match the names of folders that pictures are in. This might be a reasonable idea, though I have some concern that it might yield mysterious matches for some users. Feel free to file a ticket at trac.yorba.org if you'd like us to consider this for a future release. Note that searching in Shotwell *does* match tag names. So in the example you gave above, you don't actually have to rename each individual picture: instead, you can tag all those pictures with "oliver". Today, when you import photos into Shotwell it doesn't pay attention to the folder hierarchy containing those photos, though some users would like us to derive events automatically from that hierarchy; see http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2108 . That might also solve your problem, since Shotwell searches do match event names.
Shotwell does have a plugin system but today it can only be used to add publishing destinations and new slideshow transitions, not filters or effects. It would be nice if Shotwell's plugins allowed arbitrary photo transformations, but we're not there yet.
