Description David Le Sage 2011-03-04 06:39:57 UTC

Description of problem:
I tried to do some searches from Nautilus and it appears it is not working.  One of the searches was for an extremely small text file in my /home directory, which does not contain many items. I gave the exact, full name of the file and still no search results were returned after several minutes. 

I then tried again after having added a filter for file type of text file and it still did not return any results. The file for which was searching was a short, plain text file and had a *.txt extension. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.91.90.1-1.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Nautilus and search for a file you know to be present in a given directory.
2. When it fails, try the search again with a filter applied.

  
Actual results:
Search still active after several minutes.  No results returned.

Expected results:
In a small directory with few files and precise search terms, the result should come back in just a few moments.

Comment 1 Tomáš Bžatek 2011-03-09 15:31:05 UTC

By default, Nautilus uses Tracker for full-text search. In other words, it searches for your files by content, not file name. It was decided to use Tracker FTS by default, I guess more UI options to change this will come in future.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:42:09 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
