Bug Description

1. $ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release: 20.04

2. $ apt-cache policy nautilus
nautilus:
  Installed: 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:3.36.1.1-1ubuntu2 500

3. When I try to find a file/directory in nautilus I start to type some letters (or press CTRL-f befor typing). Normally nautilus tries to find the files and shows the result.

4. When I am typing too fast (or normal speed?) the searching hangs up, a small blue circle goes around in the left bottom corner and nothing happens for long time. If I cut (CTRL-a CTRL-x) the searched text and paste it back (CTRL-f CTRL-v) the searching is successful, and the result appears immidietly.

The situation is same e.g. in gnome-software, so I think this problem is globally exists in gnome.

@perebal-sze, thank you for sharing about cutting and pasting the search text in step 4. I hadn't know it before. It works for me as well.

If this is related to the bug I had filed upstream (linked above), then this should be fixed in Nautilus 43.1 or later.
