2017-02-21 20:59:26 Jeremy Bícha description For Nautilus' built-in search to not be very slow, Nautilus needs to use tracker for search. This is especially important since it's being seriously proposed for Ubuntu 17.10 that we drop the "type-ahead search" patch that reverted the removal of that feature by Nautilus years ago. To not cripple Ubuntu GNOME, it was decided to let Nautilus build against tracker but not use that functionality on Unity. See this patch: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/nautilus/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/ubuntu_tracker_only_on_GNOME.patch For Nautilus' built-in search to not be very slow, Nautilus needs to use tracker for search. This is especially important since it's being seriously proposed for Ubuntu 17.10 that we drop the "type-ahead search" patch that reverted the removal of that feature by Nautilus years ago.

Benefits ======== 1. It speeds up searching for files in the Files app. 2. It enables full-text search in the Files app. In other words, you can look for files that contain specific words, instead of searching just by filename. 3. It allows the Batch Rename feature in the Files app able to rename based on file metadata. For instance, you can use the Artist name for properly tagged music files as part of the new file name. Other Info ---------- You can customize the folders it indexes from Settings > Search > gear button.
