Thank you for the response! Yes, the problem in the CLI was that I actually searched for "a" (I dismissed the warning message, as I thought it was just a warning and did not block the output for the query). The practical problem stands though - searching with GNOME (in Overview) renders no results. I just found out that this does not apply for the home folder. That is apparently not a tracker problem though, I'll continue digging.
