Nonetheless results appear from subfolders (which I wouldn't mind, but which I turn off due to its poor performance compared to current-folder-only). [ Test case ] 1. Start nautilus, form app settings force nautilus to search only in current folder 2. Search for any content you know is available in a subfolder of the current one 3. No results should be shown for any of the subfolders And also: 1. Open gnome-shell activities (hit super) 2. Search for a file you have in a subfolder of your home (not hidden, backup or anything) 3. The files should be shown on the overview. 4. Hitting nautilus icon in overview, results from any subfolder of your $HOME should be presented. [ Regression potential ] Searches from gnome-shell activities does not contain all the results. Or normal searches from nautilus might not list results from subfolders.
