[Desktop-packages] [Bug 41704] Re: wildcards should work with the search feature
How to you use wildcards, especially the * (star) in Linux Ubuntu Nautilus GUI File Search? I also was just struggling with this issue, but I think I found an answer. Going back to the original post, here are the equivalent Windows and Nautilus search patterns: Windows: "win*.dll" Nautilus: "win dll" Basically, try using a spacebar character in Nautilus where you would use a * character normally. I think I FINALLY figured this out, after years of trying... sigh. -- 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/41704 Title: wildcards should work with the search feature Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I get no results when i search on NTFS with nautilus.

This still happens in Ubuntu 15.10 and is very confusing. I first thought that the search is not working at all until I for some reason removed "*" from my search. -- 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/41704 Title: wildcards should work with the search feature Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I get no results when i search on NTFS with nautilus.

Hi guys, I figured the best way out for this is to search using just the period/full stop character == . This brings up everything in the specified folder.

If nautilus doesn't support de-fact standard for searching filesystems, it should at least warn user when user attempts to use wildcard (and collect stats if you don't believe many need this). -- 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/41704 Title: wildcards should work with the search feature Status in Nautilus: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I get no results when i search on NTFS with nautilus.
