[Bug 1171394] [NEW] search fails when using wildcard (*.* or *.jpg...)
Public bug reported: When trying to locate certain file(s) of specific feature such as the extension of the file in any folder, using wildcard such as *.* or *.jpg or dot any extension, the result will be a blank search page ! This goes for folders under the partition of ubuntu and for any folder in the windows partition if activated from the Ubuntu environment. Expected: When searching for a certain file extension the search windows after processing should come up with the result of list of files required or a message that no file(s) found. what happens: the system will start searching showing the search working note, then the search page is remained blanck after finish with no result or a note that no files found.
