Hi. I finally upgraded to 18.04 and Nautilus without type-ahead find is extremely limiting when it comes to file/folder navigation. I can't even fathom why it would be dropped. But if search is now the default action for when one starts typing, there should be a way to disable that, or enable type-ahead find, if not in an easily-found, user-friendly way, then at least as an option in Preferences. I know there is a patched version available, but I'd rather not have upgrade headaches which can arise from having patched versions of major system apps, so am just adding my voice to the countless others on the web begging for action on this.

As there is a patch exists from the Arch community[1], and the at least some people managed to patch it in 17.10[2], might it be possible to add such patch back before 18.04.1 so that it won't affect people upgraded from 16.04?
