Bug Description
I cannot figure out how to capture the crash. Launching nautilus from terminal does not give any crash logs when it happens and it is very easily reproduced and extremely annoying. To reproduce it yourself, perform the following:
1. Launch nautilus and click on the 'other locations' tab.
2. Select any drive, partition, filesystem, whatever you have there. For the sake of continuity, just select whatever drive Ubuntu is installed on.
3. Type in a search query. It doesn't matter what it is, but it has to return a directory in the results that you can then enter. For example, type 'pictures' into the search to return your pictures folder.
4. Enter any of the directories that show up in the search results. From here, it doesn't matter what you do. As soon as you press back to return to the search results, nautilus will ALWAYS crash.
This obviously makes searching for things like application files, where many directories will have the same name, extremely difficult and cumbersome. I can reproduce this crash 100% of the time. This is on Ubuntu 22.10 with nautilus 1:43.0-1ubuntu1.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:
1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.
2. If step 1 failed then look at https:/ /errors. ubuntu. com/user/ ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/ whoopsie/ whoopsie- id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.
Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.
