My variation on this problem:
File search (whether from Launcher bar or from Dash) finds SOME files
but not nearly ALL.
For example: I have many files with the name Berdy in them. (Columnist
for Moscow Times.) The search returns five files (and offers one
additional file) when I have dozens. All of these filenames are entitled
100_Berdy-[specific name of article]; all of them are in the same
folder.
Searches also return files that don't have the search term either in the
title or in the contents--at least the visible contents.
Basically, why does the file searcher work partially but not fully?
HOWEVER, the file search utility provided under "accessories"
("стандартные" in the Russian-language version--calculator, text editor,
etc.) seems to work fine.
Referring back to Alex Launi's comments, 2011-03-03:
1) unity-place-applications and unity-place-files are installed
according to the package manager.
2) "Are you using unity from trunk?" What does that mean? I'm logged in
as any ordinary owner/user. "If so you need to copy the .place files
from /usr/share/unity/places into /usr/local/share/unity/places"--there
is no "unity" folder in /usr/local/share/. Should I make a directory and
copy the files?
