Bug Description

Steps to reproduce
Switch to LightDM
Switch to Unity
(gnome wouldn't let me log in so I was looking for the log file)
Open Nautilus
in the search bar type ".log" (without the quotes)
All the log files in your home directory are shown
Click on Name column
nothing happens
click on the Size column
nothing happens

Click on a folder in nautilus containing items
Click on the Name column
The column gets sorted by name
Click on the size column
the column gets sorted by size

The behavior should be the same whether or not you have searched but it's not.
