At first I used a controlled vocabulary for the tags, setting the
variables filetags-enforce-controlled-vocabulary and
filetags-controlled-vocabulary. But I was getting some false positives.
So it occurred to me to configure this other variable like this:

(setq filetags-delimiter-between-filename-and-tags "%ftag_")

This way, if I start typing in helm-locate %ftag_ I already start
getting more accurate results. Like I said, it's not a panacea, but it
more or less does the trick :-)

BTW, i don't use helm-locate directly but helm-mini with a number of
sources related to buffers, markers, and files:

(setq helm-mini-default-sources '(helm-source-buffers-list
                                  helm-source-recentf
                                  helm-source-buffer-not-found
                                  helm-source-bookmarks
                                  helm-source-bookmark-set
                                  helm-source-locate))

So with a single call to helm-mini I can get information about open
buffers, recent files, bookmarks, and locate.
