[Bug 662619] Re: dash - search in the home screen doesn't seem to return any file or folder
The Dash doesn't seem to find files using letter sequences. See bug#794565. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662619 Title: dash - search in the home screen doesn't seem to return any file or folder -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 662619] Re: dash - search in the home screen doesn't seem to return any file or folder
My variation on this problem:
File search (whether from Launcher bar or from Dash) finds SOME files
but not nearly ALL.
For example: I have many files with the name Berdy in them. (Columnist
for Moscow Times.) The search returns five files (and offers one
additional file) when I have dozens. All of these filenames are entitled
100_Berdy-[specific name of article]; all of them are in the same
folder.
Searches also return files that don't have the search term either in the
title or in the contents--at least the visible contents.
Basically, why does the file searcher work partially but not fully?
HOWEVER, the file search utility provided under "accessories"
("стандартные" in the Russian-language version--calculator, text editor,
etc.) seems to work fine.
Referring back to Alex Launi's comments, 2011-03-03:
1) unity-place-applications and unity-place-files are installed
according to the package manager.
2) "Are you using unity from trunk?" What does that mean? I'm logged in
as any ordinary owner/user. "If so you need to copy the .place files
from /usr/share/unity/places into /usr/local/share/unity/places"--there
is no "unity" folder in /usr/local/share/. Should I make a directory and
copy the files?

I think those two unity-place packages are installed by default, at least if you use the final release of natty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662619 Title: dash - search in the home screen doesn't seem to return any file or folder -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 662619] Re: dash - search in the home screen doesn't seem to return any file or folder
I agree with NoahY: given Unity's generally really strong bias against allowing options or customization, it seems bizarre that you have these packages only recommended and that people can so easily end up with them not installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662619 Title: dash - search in the home screen doesn't seem to return any file or folder -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 662619] Re: dash - search in the home screen doesn't seem to return any file or folder
Considering one can't access anything that's not on the sidebar without these two packages, marking them "recommended" seems a bit silly. I don't know why, but I had recommends disabled, so Unity has been all but useless for me until I found this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662619 Title: dash - search in the home screen doesn't seem to return any file or folder -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Then these packages should be installed by default. I think it is not OK if people should install packages just to able to find their own files. As I said above, it should work like the "search for files" of the classical GNOME menu and that one works out of the box. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662619 Title: dash - search in the home screen doesn't seem to return any file or folder -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please confirm that unity-place-applications, and unity-place-files are running. You don't have icons for them on your launcher, so either the packages are missing, or the place files have somehow gotten removed. Are you using unity from trunk?
