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:
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.

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.
Cheers...

I'm still experiencing this with nautilus 3.6 (specifically, package
1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 on 13.04).

That's not a wishlist. Search should support commonly used wildcards.

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).

simply searching for a partial filename without a wildcard has the desired
result I think.
I was trying to collect all the screenshots off of my desktop and found that
simply searching for screenshot found all similar files. However, the
wildcards would give you more control.

Would this qualify as a papercut? People pressing the search button in
nautilus surely expect a wildcard search? At least, I did ;). And I was
very annoyed it didn't work.

It's really strange. If inline search not work with de-facto usual
standards (as wildcards, etc), maybe replace appearing of search line,
by appearing of fully functional 'Places - Search for files' applet?

it appears the same issue is the cause of the following weirdness:
an *mp3 search string works fine in Places Search for Files, but it
doesn't work at all in the integrated nautilus search.
Quite confusing for people coming from Windows (and for me as well! :)

I can't get any results at all when searching with wildcards in Nautilus
in Ubuntu Feisty .. I don't use Beagle or any other file content
indexer. Just slocate.
Query text: *.txt
Criterium: Location - /home
Zaroo results. Isn't this search feature supposed to support wildcards ?
If not, that's
17 matches
