[Bug 1174529] Re: Nautilus searches All Files when it should search Home
Yes, quick-search feature and Ctrl-F do the same. This 1) makes them reundant. 2) makes quick-search mostly unusable for the original purpose - that is, quick selection of a file without having to scroll through long lists. Suppose the user wants to find .profile in $HOME. Expected behaviour: type .p and it would be 2-nd or 3-rd file after selected. What happens instead: the first pressed key nearly freezes nautilus as it tries to dig through the whole $HOME/* tree - then it may eventually show every .* file down there or may freeze completely. Until then, it does both intense disk seeking and CPU consumption. The problem: even in best-case scenario, scrolling a long list is faster by many orders of magnitude in any place with big subtree, like $HOME or /usr/share. Meaning quick-search is almost useless for quick searching. Both points mean it's a bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174529 Title: Nautilus searches All Files when it should search Home To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1174529/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It should only show matching files in the current folder. This is not correct IMHO, as it should show all files that match the search pattern in the current folder and folders BELOW that.

Christian, yes I see you are correct, it shows files in the current folder and below. I find that very confusing, but I suppose it is probably as designed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174529 Title: Nautilus searches All Files when it should search Home To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1174529/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
