Bug Description

Binary package hint: tracker

Versions: Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty), latest version of all packages, tracker 0.6.93-0ubuntu1

My understanding is that Tracker has a list of stop words that it ignores, so if you have a file that includes a string like say:
"boy sets fire"
only boy and fire will show up in the index.

Unfortunately, these words don't get ignored when searching, so when you search for:
- boy sets fire
you get 0 results (because no results include "sets" I'm guessing)
- boy
you get the result
- fire
you get the result
- boy fire
you get the result

Tracker should ignore these stop words in queries as well as in the indexer.
