You have been subscribed to a public bug:

If I click Search in Nautilus (or Ctrl+F), it doesn't find anything I
search for.  For instance I'm in /bin and I ctrl+f for Bash and nothing
comes up.  At first I thought Nautilus search was stupid and would only
search the current directory (rather than recursively), but even that
doesn't seem to be the case.

Meanwhile if I click Search from the Places menu, the search works fine.

Something is definitely broken, but it may be related to this bug:

I had Tracker installed on 7.04 for months.  Then I upgraded to 7.10
several hours ago.  If Ubuntu is searching with different search tools
in different places, it shouldn't be.  If Ubuntu is using a search that
doesn't work all the time, it shouldn't be.  If Nautilus doesn't fall
back to a search that works if it is using a search that doesn't work,
it should.
