Nautilus will not search for files

[ventrical]

As the topic suggests .. nautilus will not search. Just nothing.

Anyone else?

i get that issue since a few weeks (months) now; i suppose its one more feature removed (that new gnome way to get less maintenance)
i've simply added (add to panel) the search applet; which works fine. (gnome-classic, aka fallback)

For a unity session you could install

sudo apt-get install gnome-search-tool

Thank you very much mac4man. I had also seen your other research on this matter and thank you for keeping all of us apprised of the various situations with nautilus and all the other multifaceted research that you do here in the forums , which without, would be be extremely difficult for a lot of us to get a handle on many of the difficulties that ubuntu-beta-testings presents us with.

The Unity Dash search works well for me BTW

It will not work for the file/s I mentioned;

mir-doc: /share/doc/mir-doc/html/dummy__input__manager_8cpp.html

no matter how I truncate it.

It will only work if I use a wildcard * and .html.

Looks like something I am doing wrong here.

Must of missed that, no matter

It's possible that -
you should do a restart & or the search tool doesn't like searching the "File system"

So help it out & narrow down a bit, noting that the further away the longer it will take, a far point of /usr should work, /usr/share a bit quicker, ect.
see screen 1
screen 2 example of nautilus (really fixed), searching from /

recursive search, (which works well), was added back to nautilus shortly after 3.6.x release, has not been patched into current 13.04 nautilus nor has 13.04 moved (yet?) to use nautilus-3.7/8 where it's long fixed.
There is a request to do so (3.7/8), - current status no review yet
(see no reason why 13.04 can't go to 3.8, with or without gtk upgrade
