nautilus screenshot showing the bug

steps to reproduce (here nautilus 3.2.0).

normal behaviour :
- open a folder
- press "/"
- the address bar switches from buttons to addresses (1 to 2 in attached screenshot)

wrong behaviour :
- open folder
- select the list view (ctrl+2)
- press "/"
- a search is performed matching "/" (transition from 1 to 3 in attached screenshot)

this behaviour is unwanted as no files are expected to contain a "/" symbol

Should be fixed by the new search design.
