That syntax is known as the "QName Path" to the object - it represents the association names down to the object rather than the "name" path which is based on the cm:name properties of the folders down to the object. If you prefer to use QName path then that is good because it's actually a lot more efficient and you can use a Lucene search using the PATH: operator.

So instead do something like this:
var results = search.luceneSearch("PATH:/app:company_home/app:dictionary/app:email_templates/cm:template.ftl");
