This is apparently an upstream bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME /gnome-documents/issues/12
It seems that this has been fixed in 3.30. If so, is there any chance that the fix is backported to the 18.04? ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-documents/issues #12 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-documents/issues/12 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819193 Title: Document search does not work Status in gnome-documents package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1.
