GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 750832
Improve search options UI
Last modified: 2016-11-29 14:51:40 UTC
We will allow new options like "search on subfolders" that will hopefully replace the use case of "type-ahead" and it will allow fine grained search by time bounds, etc. Some firsts drafts are here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/nautilus/nautilus-next/search-options.png We cannot do the popover with a headerbar like that, given how headerbar works the border wont match the popover border. So we will have to look for a different solution in case we agree on that mockup.
Updated design guidance can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/nautilus/nautilus-next/search-filters-wires.png
Would be great to apply the same concepts applied on thunderbird, to the file manager. For see what I am talking, see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-search https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/quick-filter-toolbar It would add: * Calendar view about your file search * Add constrains to your search (filters) Translating "find" parameters (-user, -group, -maxdepth, -mtime, -newer, -mount, -iregex, -size, -perm, ...), to UI would be nice Thank you !!

This was implemented already (although not fully complete) for 3.20, closing as obsolete

The switch for recursive search for instance is > still missing in 3.22. That is on pourpose, we moved it to preferences. Regarding it's not completed yet, you are right, it's missing text search, etc. should we keep it open then?
(In reply to Carlos Soriano from comment #6) > That is on pourpose, we moved it to preferences. I guess we should reopen the bug I marked as duplicate then. Someone was asking for a way to do one shot recursive searches when the preference is set to no. > Regarding it's not completed yet, you are right, it's missing text search, > etc. should we keep it open then? Well a report should only be closed once it's not relevant anymore. If you still have work to do on this, the report should be kept open until you're done.
