Run this command in a terminaL: sudo apt install tracker
Log out and log back in. You can configure indexed folders in Settings > Search > gear button. tracker was not installed by default in Ubuntu 17.10 because of worries about performance. See LP: #1666676. I am hoping that it will be reconsidered for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Please reply here if that solves your problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728380 Title: File search does not search recursively Ubuntu 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1728380/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
