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. > > Should I be filing a bug for this?
