Public bug reported:

The Gnome search tool fails to find a newly created file in the home
directory, if you search in "File System".

Steps to duplicate:
1. Create a text file 'sqw.txt' in your home directory.  (The name is not 
essential, but simplifies finding the problem.)
2. Places > Computer > Filesystem.  Navigate to the file to prove that it is 
there.
2. Places > Search for Files...
Search in File System.  (Ubuntu default ext file system)

Results
1. Displays the message "No files found".

Other information
1. The file is found if you search in the home directory instead of "File 
System".
2. The file is found after restarting the computer.
3. There is a report ( https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/96802 ) 
that the file is also found if the "locate" command database is updated.
