Well, in my humble opinion this is a very important feature that's currently not available to users. For example, I have to look for documents all the time for work, and Nautilus doesn't descent into subdirs, and the Unity Dash doesn't find them because I haven't used those docs in a few days. My workaround for now is to use the "find" command from the CLI, which is rather cumbersome....
So yes, a quick fix is highly appreciated.
