I don't think this should be marked as a duplicate of bug #1164016. That bug was successfully fixed, but this one is a new regression that requires a different patch. Since #1164016 is marked as Fix Released, a new bug should be opened for this new regression.
Are any Ubuntu devs looking into this? A working and maintained patch has been out for a year, but it has not yet been merged yet. What needs to be done to get this merged? ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1164016 restore type-ahead find -- 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/1767431 Title: restore type-ahead find, again Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The dropping of the type-ahead find patch in 17.10 might deeply affect non-technical users, as pointed out, this is possibly a bad HCI design. 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?
