Ok, maybe some progress. It appears I can search among a maximal number of hits. So that depends per folder. And as soon as Nautilus start to crash, I have to start all over by rebooting, as even small searches then crash. (Logging out/in does not make a difference.)
For what it is worth, I: 1 - have huge number of files, mostly from nodejs packages. 2 - am also running syncthing 3 - use " echo 100000 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches " to keep hot reloading for Vue coding working -- 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/1852053 Title: Nautilus Crashes when opening search field and entering first character Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Upgraded to 19.10 one week ago. Then all worked fine. Nothing major changed as far as I know. But now: - click in Dock on the file stack icon to open Nautilus - stay in Home or browse to any folder - click Ctrl-F to open search field at the top of window - enter any character as first character of search pattern - Nautilus immediately crashes and window disappears immediately.
