Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-07-13 10:23:09 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/52840

"Running Dapper with version 2.6.15-26-386 of the kernel.

Start Nautilus
Click "Search" button
Add text to search bar and press 'Return'
Once results(if any) are returned, change location drop-down to 'File System'
Click 'Reload'
Search returns immediately with no results

If I use a directoy under the root directory such as usr or var, the seach returns result as expected.

I had the same problem.  This may fix it for you:  I just uninstalled & purged Tracker and its associated packages, re=logged-in, installed the above plus the "recommended" packages, re-logged-in, and now the Nautilus search works perfectly.  I got the clue on this from comments in bug report 150379.  What a relief!

Thanks for reporting. Can you still reproduce this on a modern version of
Nautilus?

This does not happen anymore in git master (~3.1.4).
After reload another search is started.
