Description John Sullivan 2001-09-10 01:13:16 UTC
To reproduce:
(1) Set your search preference to "Search for files by file name" (or use
Beginner user level)
(2) Type Control-F to get Find widgetry
(3) Type "Four score and seven years ago" and hit <Return>

The text in the sidebar now says:

			Search Results
Items containing "Four" in their names, containing "score" in their names,
containing "and" in their names, containing "seven" in their names, containing
"years" in their names and containing "ago" in their names.

This text doesn't wrap in the side bar, so you can't read it all unless you have
the world's widest monitor and are willing to stretch your sidebar to an insane
width. But even if it did wrap, it's a difficult to read and clearly overly-long
way to describe the search criteria. My first-draft suggestion:

If search criteria contains a single word:

	Items containing "singleword" in their names

If search criteria contains multiple words:

	Items containing all the words "Four", "score", "and", 
	"seven", "years", and "ago" in their names.

Of course, the text should also wrap.

(Note that seeing this bug in action is currently blocked by bug 47615.)
Obviously this is not a 1.0 issue.

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.

File searching is no longer part of Nautilus. Closing this bug.

Sorry for the SPAM. Re-opening the old Search bugs and assigning them
to Rebeckas old Eazel account.
