Public bug reported: Prior to updating to artful (Nautilus 3.26.0) using the quick search took no noticeable time.
Now its broken. It takes a long time, pulls in all sorts of folders from outside the search path, and and is in effect, useless. It seems that the quick search now incorrectly initiates a full system wide and beyond search when it should be using quick search and not leaving the current folder. This non-standard / broken behavior results in what used to take zero time now being a fruitless and pointless endeavor. This makes the program pointless for anything but the most basic of usage and makes it near impossible to navigate larger or complex file structures.
