@seb128, that URL is for git clone, the HTML page for the repo is at [1]. Also, to compile nautilus with the patch, there needs another small patch after applying the Arch patch, to remove a naming conflict introduced in an Ubuntu patch in 18.04. I attached my patch.
I have been using the patched nautilus for two days without any problem. The HCI experience after the patch aligns experience in 16.04 and earlier, i.e., type to jump to the location of the first file and press Ctrl+F to search.

As there is a patch exists from the Arch community[1], and the at least some people managed to patch it in 17.10[2], might it be possible to add such patch back before 18.04.1 so that it won't affect people upgraded from 16.04?
