It just shows the problem with "hidden features".

I agree, but what to do about it? Enable it by default? Unless it
actually starts filtering right away it's still hidden, but if it does
filter right away it replaces the "only select the best match, not
filter for it" thing that is in place right now and I hear people
opposing to that...

is typeahead filtering the normal search when you type in the tracker window? or is it a even more hidden feature that I don't even know?

MusicCollection sorts the files by artist and album which makes it more specific for music queries. IMHO, it would be nice if tracker supports special views like a music query view...
