I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and it worked right after the release. I also thought that it stopped working but it is an selection option in the search bar from Nautilus: Click on the arrow on the right of the serach bar and then you can choose for search "Full text" or "File name". Full text search is working for me in Ubuntu 20.04.

It has finished indexing. I can also use Tracker's command line interface to search by content. 1. Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 2. nautilus: Installed: 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4 500 500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3. I expect to be able to search files by content from Nautilus, because this feature worked in 17.10. 4. I get no results from full text search unless the search matches file names.
