Public bug reported:
Under 19.10, the Nautilus search provider returned near-instant results
when searching in GNOME shell's activities, for both standard top-level
folders like "Downloads", but also when returning results for files and
directories deeper down.
Under 20.04, it takes ~10 seconds to start showing results, even when
just searching for Downloads. It's a bit faster for a warm search, but
not by much. There is no difference if Nautilus is already running in
the background or not. Performing a type-to-find in a Nautilus window
proper is as as instantaneous as the shell search was in 19.10.
This is a substantial usability regression - I use the feature
constantly.
The only thing printed in the logs when performing a search is:
