Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I try to search for files in a specific directory. The problem is, Nautilus 
does not search in the specified folder. I set the Nautilus sidebar to treeview 
(or however the "Baum"-view is called in english), and have nautilus display a 
certain folder. When I press STRG+F or click on the search-icon I would like 
Nautilus to search for the search-expression in the active and shown folder, 
not somewhere else. But Nautilus does not search in the active folder (in this 
case on my USB-drive), but somewhere else, I think in the home-folder and 
/usr/share/. It doesn't find the file I am looking for, though I can see that 
there are files in the currently displayed folder that match with the search 
string.
This is a very illogical behaviour for me. Nautilus should search by default in 
the currently shown folder, not somewhere else. Or there should be the 
possibility to define where to search.
