** Description changed:

  My girlfriends wanted to find some files, so she opened dash, wrote
  "*.ppt" there (she needed to find a huge bunch of .ppt files and copy
  most of them to usb stick), and didn't find anything since unity (it's
  search engine) doesn't scan the whole disk (which is good :-) for
  documents, but indexes only the used ones.
  
  So I think there should be a way to:
  
  1. at least make user to understand that this isn't "real full search"
  2. maybe provide a button "search everywhere" that launches nautilus with 
search in home folder
  
  Thank you.
+ 
+ Fixing bug 646724 (actually making the search search all files) would be
+ one way of fixing this bug.
