Just thinking through this...
Change all new-line characters to something else
tr "\n" "~"
Change all ctrl-Z to new-line
(I think ctrl-z is octal 32, so...)
tr "\32" "\n"
All the messages would now be one per line. Thus, you could use head and tail commands to break apart the file.
When done, reverse the previous two steps.
Make sense?

tracker-search
tracker-search(1) User Commands tracker-search(1)
NAME
tracker-search - Search all content for keywords
SYNOPSIS
tracker-search [OPTION...] EXPRESSION [EXPRESSION...]
DESCRIPTION
tracker-search searches all indexed content for EXPRESSION. The resource in which EXPRESSION matches must exist (see --all for more infor-
mation). All results are returned in ascending order. In all cases, if no EXPRESSION is given for an argument (like --folders for example)
then ALL items in that category are returned instead.
EXPRESSION
One or more terms to search. The default operation is a logical AND. For logical OR operations, see -r.
OPTIONS
-?, --help-all
Display all help options available.
-l, --limit=N
Limit search to N results. The default is 10 or 512 with --disable-snippets.
-o, --offset=N
Offset the search results by N. For example, start at item number 10 in the results. The default is 0.
-r, --or-operator
Use OR for search terms instead of AND (the default)
-d, --detailed
Show the unique URN associated with each search result. This does not apply to --music-albums and --music-artists.
-a, --all
Show results which might not be available. This might bebecause a removable media is not mounted for example. Without this option,
resources are only shown if they exist. This option applies to all command line switches except
--disable-snippets
Results are shown with snippets. Snippets are context around the word that was searched for in the first place. This gives some idea
of if the resource found is the right one. Snippets require Full Text Search to be compile time enabled AND to not be disabled with
--disable-fts. Using --disable-snippets only shows the resources which matched, no context is provided about where the match
occurred.
--disable-fts
If Full Text Search (FTS) is available, this option allows it to be disabled for one off searches. This returns results slightly
using particular properties to match the search terms (like nie:title) instead of looking for the search terms amongst ALL proper-
ties. It is more limiting to do this, but sometimes searching without FTS can yield better results if the FTS ranking is off.
--disable-color
This disables any ANSI color use on the command line. By default this is enabled to make it easier to see results. --music-albums
and --music-artists.
-f, --files
Search for files of any type matching EXPRESSION (optional).
-s, --folders

--software

--software-categories
