Description Paolo Borelli 2012-08-13 12:57:25 UTC 
running nautilus from master: when I type something nautilus provides a filtered search view (which is cool), but selects and scrolls to the last match instead of the most relevant match (as far as I know there is a rating algorithm).

For instance if I type "test" in my home dir, instead of getting "~/test.c" I end up with "~/Music/Testament/1999 - The Testament.txt"


Incidentally I think it would be nice if the result made it visually more clear the folder where each file comes from

This adds strings and a menu item, so it will need approval from release-team first.
