I *think* it's tracker because I'm using the `vanilla-gnome-desktop`
package which creates a plain Gnome Shell session, which I think uses
tracker in the Overview search (when pressing Super in Gnome Shell).
The search results I'm referring to appear within the "Files" header.
If I open a Nautilus window and try a recursive typeahead search, it is
able to find the files correctly.

Here's another example you can try (though I don't understand how often
tracker updates its database and sometimes it takes a few restarts for
tracker to output results at all):
$> echo "test" > ~/foobar-foobaz
$> tracker search -f "foobar-"
Files:
$> tracker search -f "foobar"
Files:
file:///home/alex/foobar-foobaz
Am I looking in the right place? Anything else I can provide?

Title:
Does not return results with files that have hyphens in the filename
Status in tracker package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
On Ubuntu 18.04 using the `vanilla-gnome-desktop` session (i.e. Gnome
Shell), tracker does not return any files if there is a hyphen (-) in
the search string.
To recreate:
- Create a file named `foo-bar`.
- Press <Super> to open Overview.
- Type foo. Observe that the `foo-bar` file appears.
- Type foo-. Observe that the overview says "No results."
This is a regression as files with hyphens in the filename were
included in search results in 16.04.
