OK. So I was a happy user of 16.04. With a new computer in August, I thought it would make sense to go with 18.04.
One of the biggest issues is this searching stuff in Nautilus. Why? 1. It is not instant (unlike the type/find ahead of Nautilus in 16.04). I cannot type and then press enter and load the folder I want. 2. It is inconsistent with file dialogs (e.g. save or open) where find/type ahead works as expected. 3. Often I just want to see the files and folders in relation to one another. I might want to see the files starting with 'th', and being able to see the files starting with 'te' and 'tg' before the ones starting with 'th' is often quite useful. 4. There is no way that I can see to make it search only within the directory and not recursively search all subdirectories. I don't like that. 5. And searching within subdirectories doesn't even work 100% of the time! E.g. A search for a dot folder consistently doesn't turn it up. Thank you Ubuntu developers for previously hiding this stupidity. Please consider getting rid of it in 18.04 as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find Status in Nautilus: Expired Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: GNOME removed type-ahead find in Nautilus 3.6, not without controversy: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus- list/2012-August/msg00002.html Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately performs a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories. I personally find this annoying. If I want to search, I'll click the search icon. Often I'm looking at a long directory listing and simply want to jump to a certain point in it, and type-ahead find works great for that. Would Ubuntu consider patching type-ahead find back in?
