The removal of type-ahead find has been driving me nuts since its implementation, so I cast my vote that users be given the option to turn off automatic searching. It staggers me that rather than give us more options to customise our file manager to be as we like it, they're slowly being stripped away. And I have to say, I've been using Ubuntu since 2006, and I'm still waiting for a tool that lets me configure Nautilus without wading through gconf/dconf (though that would likely be next to useless with all the backwards steps Nautilus is taking with every release).

I personally find this annoying. If I want to search, I'll click the search icon. Often I'm looking at a long directory listing and simply want to jump to a certain point in it, and type-ahead find works great for that. Would Ubuntu consider patching type-ahead find back in?
