I *think* it's tracker because I'm using the `vanilla-gnome-desktop` package which creates a plain Gnome Shell session, which I think uses tracker in the Overview search (when pressing Super in Gnome Shell).
The search results I'm referring to appear within the "Files" header. If I open a Nautilus window and try a recursive typeahead search, it is able to find the files correctly. $> dpkg -l | grep tracker ii gir1.2-tracker-2.0:amd64 2.0.3-1ubuntu4 amd64 GObject introspection data for Tracker ii kerneloops 0.12+git20140509-6ubuntu2 amd64 kernel oops tracker ii libtracker-control-2.0-0:amd64 2.0.3-1ubuntu4 amd64 library to control/monitor tracker miners ii libtracker-miner-2.0-0:amd64 2.0.3-1ubuntu4 amd64 tracker data miner library ii libtracker-sparql-2.0-0:amd64 2.0.3-1ubuntu4 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool - library ii libwhoopsie-preferences0 0.19 amd64 Ubuntu error tracker submission settings - shared library ii libwhoopsie0:amd64 0.2.62 amd64 Ubuntu error tracker submission - shared library ii libxatracker2:amd64 18.0.5-0ubuntu0~18.04.1 amd64 X acceleration library -- runtime ii tracker 2.0.3-1ubuntu4 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool ii tracker-extract 2.0.4-1 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool - metadata extractors ii tracker-miner-fs 2.0.4-1 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool - filesystem indexer ii whoopsie 0.2.62 amd64 Ubuntu error tracker submission Here's another example you can try (though I don't understand how often tracker updates its database and sometimes it takes a few restarts for tracker to output results at all): $> echo "test" > ~/foobar-foobaz $> tracker search -f "foobar-" Files: $> tracker search -f "foobar" Files: file:///home/alex/foobar-foobaz Am I looking in the right place?
