Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.4.2-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I went into the activities overview to search for a file/folder. When I
searched, nothing came up.
I then tried in nautlius and it works. I know that this bug will be fixed when
later versions of gnome-shell arrive (3.6), but it is quite and inconvenient
bug in the meantime.
An easy although imperfect workaround is to install the extention
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/284/tracker-search/, which implements
this.
