Please bring this functionality to Ubuntu's Nautilus. Disco now has the distressing search functionality extended even to the save dialog.
The Gnome team is extremely resistant to bring back the old intuitive functionality. I tried to explain the problems at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/244 , as did many others. People are still requesting the old type-ahead thing, so the trade-offs have not been accounted for. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues #244 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/244 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-settings 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?
