[Zeitgeist] [Bug 919801] Re: Unity dash file search is extremely slow
Any progress on this issue? The tips worked to a certain extent, but did not fix it. The issue is with Unity and not Zeitgeist, since Synapse works fine and fast. This problem is crucial, because it undermines one of the main assets of the Dash: finding anything fast. I don't mind waiting for Amazon results, but not the documents I work on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Zeitgeist Framework Team, which is subscribed to Zeitgeist Framework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919801 Title: Unity dash file search is extremely slow Status in Unity Files Lens: Incomplete Status in Zeitgeist Framework: Incomplete Status in “unity-lens-files” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I try to use the Unity dash search feature to navigate to files and folders, it is extremely slow.

[Zeitgeist] [Bug 919801] Re: Unity dash file search is extremely slow
Same here in 13.04 (upgraded from 12.10). Whenever I perform a search in the Dash, More suggestions is the first category to appear, followed by Application and, much later, Files. Doughy's tip works great (thanks!) but the average user shouldn't be asked to come to this. I hope all the optimizations in 13.04 will keep this problem from happening again! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Zeitgeist Framework Team, which is subscribed to Zeitgeist Framework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919801 Title: Unity dash file search is extremely slow Status in Unity Files Lens: Incomplete Status in Zeitgeist Framework: Incomplete Status in “unity-lens-files” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I try to use the Unity dash search feature to navigate to files and folders, it is extremely slow.
