I'm pretty happy to see this in proposed too. Thanks to Robert Ancell as well for helping merge this (fixing some of my mistakes).
Also, don't hesitate to nudge the nautilus people into reconsidering this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721968 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681871 (They quickly closed my patch submission as a duplicate of a 1.5yr old bug.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find Status in Nautilus: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ubuntu-settings” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: GNOME removed type-ahead find in Nautilus 3.6, not without controversy: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus- list/2012-August/msg00002.html Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately performs a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories. 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?
