Description milky_cow_101 2005-01-30 02:50:00 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
1) Find as you type doesn't do boolean search.  This is contrary to Mozilla 
find-as-you-type.  I propse an option in Nautilus preferences toggle it off and 
on.

2) It doesn't work in "browse mode".  With the tree view enabled however, it 
searches in there but not in the main view.

3) F3/ctrl+g should go to the next result, Shift+F3/ctl+shift+g should go to the 
previous result; copy Mozilla's behavior.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

By "boolean" search, I mean that it only queries that start of your search term; 
if it's elsewhere in the file, it can't find anything.  With the proposed toggle 
on, FAYT should look in the whole file name.
