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.
