Thanks to the people fixing this bug, in the first place. However, I'm
sorry to put it in this way but Blaster pointed out what is the real bug
which caused this one. It is the strange policy in the Nautilus
development. This might be fixed by changing the policy or changing the
file manager in Ubuntu. Because otherwise, we must ask what will be
next? Removal of Home (/home/user) from the side bar and leaving there
only (My) Documents, (My) Music and (My) Pictures as it is on Mac OS and
some (all?) MS Windows? Removal of possibility to show hidden (.*) files
or removal of list view because everyone wants big thumbnail anyway,
right? ...

I'm sorry to see developers spending their time reimplementing,
debugging and fixing features which already had working implementations
and were removed just few months before. I'm concerned that this state
is not sustainable.

Title:
  restore type-ahead find

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubuntu-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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?
