I lost all my hope that ubuntu or gnome are going to take care of this, probably 259 affected people is too little for them. I installed nemo 1 year ago, and didn't come back, I'm happy with nemo bringing me back the F3 shortcut to navigate two trees simultaneously, and the type-ahead behaving as expected, and at the same time being able to search with Ctrl-F. Sad answer to community, but reading the history of gnome project it seems is not uncommon. I see gnome resolved the related ticket as obsolete - so, probably would be better to do the same with this ticket here at ubuntu - and let people move ahead (to nemo) without false hope :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find Status in Nautilus: Expired Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: 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'll click the search icon. Often I'm looking at a long directory listing and simply want to jump to a certain point in it, and type-ahead find works great for that. Would Ubuntu consider patching type-ahead find back in?
