gnomecatalog cannot search for multiple words

[wirespot]

Given a filename such as "foo_bar_baz.txt", a reasonable expectation of the user would be to find it when entering "foo baz" or "bar txt" in the search field.

Unfortunately, the DB search uses the search value as is (ie. "LIKE '%"+search+"%'") which means the whitespace will be considered part of the search and the file in the above example won't be found.

It's a very simple fix in /usr/share/pyshared/gnomecatalog, just replace search with "%".join(search.split()). I've attached the patch.

Come to think about it, you could do this for all three occurances of "search" in search_cond, not just the first one. :)
