I am going to bump this back up. This is kind of an important thing to me. Its functionality that works in Arch but not Ubuntu Gnome. If I enable gnome-documents, the recently used documents show up in the activities menu but I cant do anything with gnome documents (what an irritating program). When I have just nautilus, there are no search results displayed.
Should I be filing a bug for this? As a matter of troubleshooting I have tried changing out the extension that does the searching. I get the same results either way.
