No search text field in Nautilus after Ctrl-F on desktop

Dapper Flight6 + updates 2006-05-01:

There is no search text field in Nautilus after Ctrl-F on desktop.

1. Click with the mouse on the desktop to activate it.
2. Press Ctrl-f
3. Nautilus will appear with the search window but there is no text entry field where you can type your search text.

See attached screenshot.

Nautilus opens the search dialog but there is no text field to enter your search text.

Thanks for your bug. I've forwarded your issue upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340335

When <Control>f opens a nautilus window to search, then why do we have gnome-search-tool (can be accessed via "Places -> Seach for files")? I think since we have the gnome-search-tool the shortcut <Control>f should start it instead of a nautilus instance.

The problem is I don't know where the shortcut is defined. "System -> Preferences -> Keyboad-Shortcuts" shows me a "XF86Search" and the gconf-editor does not list something else.

Marcus is working on this upstream.

There is no longer a Ctrl-f shortcut on the desktop under Unity. I'm guessing this is because the Unity Dash provides search functionality. Is this bug still relevant in Oneiric??

Does this still happen in Gnome 3?

Just installed Gnome 3 and Crtl-f seems to be disabled here too marking bug as fixed. Will comment on upstream bug also.
