I kind of figured this out. In addition to Tracker, you need Gnome Documents and gnome-shell-extensions installed. Launch Gnome Documents, and it will index your files. Now you will be able to search by content from Gnome Documents and Gnome Shell, but still not from Nautilus. Perhaps this is because Ubuntu installs an older version of Nautilus (3.26).
