Unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe this patch is complete. The behaviour is fixed for nautilus in browser mode, but in spatial, searches still start from the Home directory regardless!
Open up a spatial nautilus window, navigate to any directory other than Home, and press Ctrl-F - the new search window that appears starts the search from Home. -- nautilus search always starts from home https://launchpad.net/bugs/28537 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
