Hi folks,
I was trying to use the search box in the activities view to find my pdf files, but it doesn't work any more. I remember it working earlier. It shows applications, folders, contacts, but no files in the search results.
I installed the tracker-gui "desktop search", and that shows my files, so tracker is working correctly. Gnome documents seems to show my files too.
Is this a change in behaviour of the search box, or is it a bug (known?)
The desktop file search was a huge convenience, so I'm a little gutted that it isn't working any more :/

Hard to say unless you mention which version of GNOME. Particularly gnome-shell and gnome-documents.

Hi Debarshi,

In GNOME 3.4, the recent documents search provider which was available in 3.2 was removed and replaced by documents search, which is a subset of tracker's search and shows only documents. Full desktop search is coming back in 3.6 thanks to the nautilus search provider (which can use tracker or do a recursive filename search).

... and gnome-documents only knows about things under ~/Downloads, ~/Documents and your online accounts. So if you have your PDF in any location that is not one of these, it will not show up.
