I agree this kind of feature is quite essential for a desktop search
engine.

If tracker can't do it, couldn't deskbar-applet work around it? There is
locate, which has a quite capable filename search engine. Wouldn't it be
possible to write a simple deskbar plugin that queries "locate -i
~/'*$SEARCHTERM*'" as you type?

Deskbar has the advantage of taking multiple sources into account, and
if tracker simply isn't designed for finding files by name, then use the
tools that are.
