Public bug reported:

Normally in nautilus if you search in the window using the keyboard you get the 
little searchbox on the lower right corner with your preview. Now if you klick 
up or down on the keyboard or turning the scroll wheel on the mouse the next 
matching search results will be displayed.
If you klick ESC the searchbox will be closed and purged.

Now in Ubuntu (but not in other distributions like fedora), if you search with 
your keyboard you'll get the first matching search result but turning the mouse 
wheel scrolls the screen and mouse keys move the selection.
Thats annoying enough but if you decide you want to search again the searchbox 
adds your chars instead of replacing them, and also if you want to clear the 
box using the backspace button like you normaly would do, nautilus just goes up 
one level. And sometimes the searchbox will only clear if you close the 
nautilus window and open a new one. Not very user friendly.

I encountered this behavior in all my freshly new installed ubuntu 11.10
x86_64 and x86
