In Fedora 31, typing a few characters from the name of a subfolder into the file chooser would find it. Starting with Fedora 32, the little search bar still appears, but AFAICT it never finds anything outside the correctly shown folder. I've seen this on two different installations, both of which worked correctly on Fedora 31. I have verified that the folders I'm looking for are indexed by tracker. I'm guessing this is related to: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tracker/-/issues/276 I'm a bit mystified as to how tracker's obvious user-facing interface could have been 100% non-working for two consecutive releases with no one noticing, so maybe the problem I'm having is more subtle.
I tried this in a brand new user account on one of my affected F33 systems. Still broken.
Looks like there may be an upstream fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tracker-miners/-/merge_requests/304/commits Tracker maintainers, could you try backporting this please?
Still broken in Fedora 34
Hi Andy, sorry for the delayed response here. If it's still broken in F34 then the MR from above doesn't help as it's already included in F34 tracker-miners builds. I suspect maybe the problem is actually in gtk: I think we just need to build it against tracker to get the missing search functionality back. It probably got lost when switching from tracker 2 to tracker 3. Let me try to do that and see if it helps.
Hi Kalev, where did you get to this? It's still broken on gtk4-4.2.1-1.fc34 as Tracker hasn't been enabled in the build options in the spec file. This should be a simple fix, the spec file needs -Dtracker=enabled as it's disabled by default in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/master/meson_options.txt.
Changing component to gtk4. Could someone kindly fix this?
OK, I went ahead and enabled tracker support in both gtk3-3.24.30-4.fc35 and gtk4-4.4.0-4.fc35 builds. Do you guys think this is something that needs to be done in Fedora 34 as well?

Thanks! Works for me in Fedora 34. (Although I confess to some surprise that the gtk3 update was needed to get this working in any app I tried -- the gtk4 update didn't do the trick.)
Great! Thanks for checking that it works.
