GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 689824
Show progress indication for recursive search
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:48:47 UTC
I would suggest to add the 'loading page' progress bar of Web into Nautilus search, too. And if nothing is found add a semi-transparent "No results.", please.
Created attachment 234548 [details] Current search in progress indication "No results" indication has already been requested by bug 680984. Let's focus this report on progress indication. When search takes a while, there is an floating status bar indicating that search is in progress, see attachment. I don't know if a progress bar is possible.
I think that we eventually want to use a spinner. https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/nautilus/search-wires.png

Allan, I'm not sure how well that would work since results won't all arrive at the same time. I guess we could delay the presentation of results until the search is complete, but that doesn't seem like a good idea.

For what is worth, here is a screenshot of nautilus 3.14 from jhbuild, when I perform a search in my Home directory: https://i.imgur.com/FylXDAL.png
(In reply to comment #5) > It is still there, but apparently not being displayed in all cases. You're right; I don't think anything has changed, it just happened to be displayed by chance when I tested with 3.10 and not when I tested with 3.14.
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.
