I run into the same problem. I didn't know Nautilus relied on tracker, and one of the first things I did when installing gutsy was disabling tracker daemon in System>Preferences>sessions. I don't search that often, but obviously searches never worked in nautilus, I was using search -name in a terminal. I should have got a warning by nautilus that searches don't work if tracker deamon is off. Also I second the option to have nautilus optionally not to depend on tracker. I don't want any PC-wide index in my desktop. I doesn't make any sense for me (a search across 20000 files in my home desktop takes 3 seconds) plus it can have security implications. Thanks for hinting tat Places > Search still works, I hadn't noticed it. -- Search function in File browser does not function https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148701 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
