Bug Description
Description:
Searching for files in Gnome-Shell activities does not work because it returns no search results for files stored deeper than /home/user/.
Environment:
Ubuntu 17.04
Gnome-Shell 3.26.1
Language German (Swiss)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create whatever file in a directory located under /home/user/ e.g. /home/user/
2. Open Gnome-Shell activities by hitting SUPER-key
2. Enter the name of that existing file in the search field
3. Wait or press RETURN
4. Effect: no files found
Positive indication:
If that file is located exactly in /home/user/, the file search will find it.
Negative indication:
a) Recursive search is broken.
b) Ubuntu Settings, Search, Files, Configuration cog button is disabled
Work-around:
Use Nautilus file search instead.
