Ok, I see now that there is a drop-down connected to the Search field
that offers the choice between "Full Text" and "File Name". Without
tracker running, they both do the same thing.

tracker is now a required build-dependency for nautilus (not a problem
since we've already been doing that for all Ubuntu architectures).

Without tracker running, you won't have the new full text search. The
Batch Rename feature allows renaming using metadata but that won't work
either.

Of course the nautilus maintainer doesn't like us not including tracker
by default but the app is still usable without tracker: it's just not as
nice and search is likely slower.

One more issue: assuming we don't install tracker by default for Ubuntu
17.10 and assuming the issue isn't fixed, I intend to release note
