The issue with files not being searchable in the Activities Overview (unless they are placed directly in Home folder) is present in 13.10. Upgrading packages from gnome3-ppa doesn't help either, despite enabling "Files" search provider in the Search Settings applet. However, recursive searching files across folders is perfectly possible in the Nautilus window itself. Just not in the Activities Overview.
Compiling Nautilus by hand (as per instruction in the comment #1 above) fails. My current version of Nautilus is 1:3.8.2-0ubuntu2. Since the tracker-search 3rd party extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/284/tracker-search/) is not compatible with 3.8 and aforementioned bug is still in place, I reckon being unable to search for files quickly straight in the Activities Overview is a major regression. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1076232 Title: Build with tracker support Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Searching for files on the activities overview does not work. According to this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687565 it is because "Nautilus is built with "--enable-tracker=no" on Ubuntu." It would be appreciated if this could be fixed so that file search on the overview would work. I have Nautilus 3.6.2 (from http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/) on Ubuntu 12.10 with tracker installed. thanks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1076232/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
