I don't know name of this feature in Nautilus.
For example when i want to select file/folder "linux" quickly, i would type "lin" and Nautilus will select first file/folder that its name starts with "lin".

Now I can use this feature anymore. When i press any key, the small floating window does not appear, and no file is selected.

When i launch nautilus with root's privilege (gksudo nautilus, sudo nautilus) or create a new account, this feature works well.

I think this problem caused by misconfiguration of nautilus but i do not figure how to fix it. Anyone please help me.

Try clicking anywhere on the icons' area (ie the folder) and try searching.

Thanks LinuxIsInnovation,
But not at that simple. This isn't control focus problem.
