typing does not suggests any file

[Grzegorz Szukowski]

Ubuntu 11.10
I see in dash (mode files) last opened 'documents' but when I type there is no reaction on it. No one file which should be matched to my string is not chosen.

Could you be more specific about the issue? Right now, it appears that the drzwi file you're searching for, is appearing in the results on the 4th place. Is this bug about that? Or is this bug about the needed file not appearing at all?

Thank you very much that you try help me :)
Maybe I wrong formulated description. File appearing on the list, but it is not because I filled the search box.
I open the dash. I choose the file search mode. I see a list of six recently opened files. Among them is a file 'doors'. When I type in the text box the word 'door', the file list is not limited to those that contain that word. The same is with files that are not within the list the first six (click for more results). If this is the correct action, then in general I do not understand for what the search box :) The list does not react to fill the search box.

I have the same problem with ubuntu 11.10, recent files appear in the list, but typing does not filter the results. In addition, if you type in the main dash page (the one that appears when you press the super key), applications and music are being searched, but not files. In 11.04 it worked like a charm. I tried to reinstall but no luck. It simply does not work.

Note that I have installed over an existing ubuntu installation (same home folder) so it contains configuration files from older releases. In a fresh install it works ok, so I wonder if there is an issue with some configuration file. Does anybody know what are the relevant configuration files and how they should look like?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm trying to fix this, and by killing /usr/lib/unity-lens-files/unity-files-daemon and running it again I can get some output. In particular, when searching I get the following error:

(process:9943): unity-files-daemon-WARNING **: daemon.vala:466: Error performing global search 'in': GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.xapian.DatabaseCorruptError: Traceback (most recent call last):

    retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords)

  File "/usr/share/zeitgeist/_zeitgeist/engine/extensions/fts.py", line 395, in search
    self.QUERY_PARSER_FLAGS)
DatabaseCorruptError: Db block overwritten - are there multiple writers?

So it seems there is a corrupted file. This seemed related to bug #841878, so I use the workaround reported in comment 6 and it worked.

Can you guys tell us if the problem appears with the latest zeitgeist too?
