[Bug 506219] Re: Gnome search tool (Search for Files...) fails if searching File System
Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project. - Nice catch , this is an interesting bug but not an intended design flaw, hence not a papercut. For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut. Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as Invalid only in the papercuts project. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New = Invalid -- Gnome search tool (Search for Files...) fails if searching File System https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 506219] Re: Gnome search tool (Search for Files...) fails if searching File System
What? Things that don't work don't affect usability? If they don't want bug reports, then they need to be clear about the criteria. I have to say, some of the things that were cited as great paper-cut bugs, and have patches, seem pretty darned trivial. But on rereading my comments, I see it's not just a choice of default, so maybe or maybe not trivial to fix. -- Gnome search tool (Search for Files...) fails if searching File System https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 506219] Re: Gnome search tool (Search for Files...) fails if searching File System
Actually, I think this might really be a Ubuntu bug. The bug can be fixed with a simple change of defaults. Does that make it Gnome or Ubuntu? Either way, this really needs to get fixed.

How would I do that? The patch is a simple change of a default value. From comment 3, quick_search_second_scan_excluded_paths is set by default to / , which excludes the entire disk from the find scan.

I would not ordinarily do that, except that for some reason it appeared to be closed to comments until I changed it. This is no longer the case. Incidentally, I am always astonished at the slow response of large software systems to bug reports. Here's a major bug (file search fails to find existing files), which should be VERY simple to fix, yet there has been absolutely zero activity on it in 3 months.

[Bug 506219] Re: Gnome search tool (Search for Files...) fails if searching File System
OK, I've got it, almost. Can someone comment here before I take this back to Gnome? I've already made two small errors in posts over there-- once omitting a not that makes it look like not a bug--and I don't want to look like a fool and jeopardize this bug. And it is a bug, although I'm afraid someone will declare it a feature. gconf-editor has a field quick_search_second_scan_excluded_paths that is supposed to exclude the path from locate, but it doesn't seem to be working right. By default / is excluded. Actually, this excludes all the subdirectories, not just root. But /etc, /etc/, and /etc/* do not exclude the /etc directory. Is this not an outright bug? Whatever the syntax, it seems to me that excluding part of the drive by default is (1) contrary to the documentation (unless you count some weasel words in the fine print near the bottom), and (2) unhelpful. Sorry, I reopened the bug for comments. Feel free to triage it again. ** Changed in: gnome-utils (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = New -- Gnome search tool (Search for Files...) fails if searching File System https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I hope gnome-utils is the right package for gnome-search-tool. I spent an hour or two on this with launchpad and Google.
