Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a Nautilus window 2. On the left column, click on a disk on the top-left, under "Devices". The contents of the disk are shown on the right 3. Start typing Expected: search should be done in the contents of the directory, on the right Observed: search is done within the left column. Additionally: 4. Click inside the window on the right, where the contents are being displayed, but click on the empty part, not on a particular item 5. Start typing - Expected: at least NOW, the contents should be searched - Observed: search is STILL done within the left column, until you click some file. Searching the left column is mostly useless and I wonder whether one may _ever_ want to search the left column; however, it's just one more possibility, so why not. However, when you have clicked on a disk unit and the contents have been displayed, focus, or whatever determines the default place where search will occur when typing, should definitely be on the contents on the right by default. Also, clicking within one of the two areas should be enough to switch on which one search will be done, it should not be necessary to select a particular item so change focus.
