thanks jamie can somebody enlighten me howto do such an filenames search with tracker-query ? And was is a RDFQueryFile ? Sorry for this dump question. Anyhow - for searching for filenames, the wildcard support is essential. As this is already possible to do, it would be great if some hacker could implement this in tracker-search-tool gui. E.g on left plane add a "filename" category.
