Which search provider is returning the results in arch though? Nautilus?

Nautilus in stock 14.04 does not have tracker support, so full file search 
won't work, however I thought in that case it still returns the
recent documents as results, maybe that was wrong.

There is a nautilus 3.10 build with tracker support on gnome3/utopic PPA, try 
test with that (should hopefully work ok on trusty), otherwise I
think nautilus 3.12 on staging is also built with tracker support.
