At the moment the files lense uses Zeitgeist logs to display results for search words. This is very fast, but means that any file that has not been logged to Zeitgeist will not appear.
This is often annoying as I will search for a file which I know exists, but the files lense will return no results. I think we should keep Zeitgeist as it results in fast search times, but instead of just using Zeitgeist, the lense should continue to search the user's home folder using the locate and find functions, just as the gnome-search-tool does. Just as an interesting side note, gnome-search-tool always finds the files and on my machine runs very quickly but I would be very interested to hear other peoples experience, particularly from those with slower machines. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
