@109 this is already known to be the wrong behavior. It was introduced long ago by the hopelessly stupid Nautilus people, and patched by Ubuntu to reestablish the old sensible behavior, but something must have gone wrong in the latest release and so the idiocy has resurfaced. What I don't understand is how it can be taking so long to fix again.
Oh I see why: most of us cannot change back the status of the bug once it has been changed to "fix released" (which is stupid, too). -- 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/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find Status in Nautilus: Expired 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?
