I just noticed that the bug is not present when the file being searched is placed directly under home-directory. If I move the same file under, let's say, "Documents", the bug appears again.

Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 2. gnome-shell 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.4, nautilus 1:3.26.4-0~ubuntu18.04.4 3. I expect GNOME Shell search results for files open in Nautilus when the "Files" icon and "x more" is clicked. 4. Nautilus opens but reports that "No Results Found". If I deselect the search option in the just opened Nautilus window and redo the search directly from Nautilus, I get expected results.
