@Adam: Still not able to reproduce. I did the following:

1) Fresh install of 14.04, fully updated, GTK 3.10.6
2) sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus && sudo apt-get install bzr
3) bzr branch lp:~daniel-wyatt/nautilus/fix-bug1164016_2 && cd fix-bug1164016_2
4) dh_autoreconf && dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b
5) sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb
6) nautilus -q
7) gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences enable-interactive-search true
8) nautilus

If I understand what you're describing, it shouldn't really be possible.
isearch_start (called when you start typing a new search) calls 
isearch_entry_changed which unselects everything via 
nautilus_view_set_selection (slot->details->content_view, NULL);
Can you try something similar to the above procedures and see if it's still 
reproducible?

Title:
  restore type-ahead find

Status in Nautilus:
  Invalid
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  GNOME removed type-ahead find in Nautilus 3.6, not without
  controversy:

  https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-
  list/2012-August/msg00002.html

  Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately performs
  a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories.  I
  personally find this annoying.  If I want to search, I'll click the
  search icon.  Often I'm looking at a long directory listing and simply
  want to jump to a certain point in it, and type-ahead find works great
  for that.

  Would Ubuntu consider patching type-ahead find back in?
