For the memo:

I found this old bug report closed as "won't fix" for gnome-shell:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645326

I also opened a bug against nautilus:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776398

I hope they will be considered. Content searching is too hidden in Gnome, as a 
result it is one of the rare area where Gnome is clearly behind.


Cheers,
Jean-Christophe
