Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
I've started a search for 'jpg' in my home folder.
The same search with the 'search for files' tool came up with results pretty quickly.
It's now been about 5 minutes, and there is still hard disk activity and a busy mouse pointer in the window, but no results.
On the offchance this was due to the file extension not being searched, I've also tried words I know are used in the names of some of my files.

Thank you for your bug. That's probably because you have lot of datas and hard disks are quite slow devices. The gnome-search-tool uses the updatedb database (same as "locate" from a command line), the database can easily be outdated though. Closing, that's not really a bug
