Description Adam Dingle 2013-05-02 11:51:05 UTC 
GNOME removed type-ahead find in Nautilus 3.6, not without controversy:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2012-August/msg00002.html

Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately performs a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories.  I personally find this annoying.  If I want to search, I'm happy to press Ctrl+F or click the search icon.  I've used Nautilus without type-ahead find for several months now, and still miss it every day.

I'd like to see type-ahead find restored, as a preference at the very least.

Hi, Adam.

We already have bug 680118, bug 681871, bug 687002 and bug 699087 as fallout from the removal of type-ahead find.

I'm not sure this report adds anything which is not already covered by one of the above.

I guess we can consider this a duplicate of bug 699087, the open bug which most closely reflects my concerns here.
