Summary: Don't require glimpse for file search

Initial Comment:
Since you already have the filenames from the 
database, you don't need glimpse for the file name 
search.

Instead you can just run a SQL query like:
select filename from files where filename like '%file%';

Which is equivalent to running glimpseindex on 'file'. 
Works in mysql, not sure about Postgres.

'_' is also equivalent to '.' in glimpse for match any 
character. It's not quite full regexp support, but 
it's better than nothing, especially when glimpse is 
not an option.
