GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 682902
Take current sort order into account for search ranking
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:16:47 UTC
Steps to reproduce: - In any folder, change the sort order to something other than "By Modification Date." - In that same folder, click the Search button or begin typing the name of a file. - Note that the results are still ordered by name, regardless of how the files were ordered previously, making them seem jumbled. Instead, when Nautilus is searching in a particular folder, search results should be displayed according to that folder's view settings.
If we are talking about master the results are sorted according to best match. I suppose it might be interesting to allow the current sort order to influence the rank.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
