Public bug reported:
The new search functionality of Nautilus by ad-hoc searching files when you
start typing is loved by some and hated by others - I don't want to discuss
this here.
But the new search method lacks an important feature: it is not possible to
distinguish two files (or folders) that are in different folders.
Let me give an example.
Create a new folder "test123" in your $HOME directory. Create another "test123"
in "Downloads".
Now navigate to your $HOME dir and start typing "test". Immediately nNautilus
shows you the two entries "test123" (and maybe others if you have files/folders
with similar names).
But it is not distinguishable which of the two folders is "~/test123" and which
is "~/Downloads/test123".
Possible solution: Nautilus should show the folder containing this item
as tooltip of the item.
