I definitely can't live without type-ahead. I just upgrade from 17.04 Ubuntu Gnome to default 17.10 to test it and Nautilus is unusable without that feature.
I'm not sure why it can't be keep as default or optional behavior, but it is a huge regression to me, and to many other users I suppose. I've been using type-ahead search for years and there's no way I can adapt to a search window opening each time I want to navigate folders. I do agree with @mniess, Search and navigation really are too different things. Is there a way to downgrade nautilus to a usable version ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666681 Title: Drop interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1666681/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
