Public bug reported: For Nautilus' built-in search to not be very slow, Nautilus needs to use tracker for search.
This is especially important since it's being seriously proposed for Ubuntu 17.10 that we drop the "type-ahead search" patch that reverted the removal of that feature by Nautilus years ago. (LP: #1666681) To not cripple Ubuntu GNOME, it was decided to let Nautilus build against tracker but not use that functionality on Unity.
