I completely agree with Johan, not tying the nautilus search to the search utility provided by the distribution gives a really non- integrated feeling to it all. After all, most users should be searching for files in their home folders, not in /etc (what would they be doing with files outside of home anyway, through nautilus, that they have no permissions for).
The excellent gnome-search utility is a fine frontend for find and grep, I've always used that when I had to find files outside of home. Also, with regard to pt123's comment, the only way I could limit my (tracker)search to certain folders, was by using the search through nautilus. One more point is that from a user perspective this is very bad. Say someone migrated from another OS to Gutsy a while back, and became used to the instantness of the nautilus search, as well as how nautilus would find contents of files and so on. After Hardy's release, they would upgrade, and notice that nautilus not only does not find files based on their contents, the search takes a whole lot of time as well. Since I don't seem to be on my own with regard to this point, should I open another bug? (In the meanwhile, could some kind soul please tell me how I revert this change locally?) -- Nautilus built-in search doesn't work if tracker is disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
