Bug Description
Since my upgrade to 22.10, I've found the search box in Nautilus (files) essentially unusable. It is notably sluggish to launch and browse in general. But most detrimental to the usability is this:
The characters do not appear in real time as I type. When they do appear, they are sometimes jumbled or in reverse (consistently reproducible). As I type in the file search box, the circular cursor spins intermittently, then the UI catches up and it's not what I typed.
For example, I just typed "umbrella" into the search box, and Nautilus searched for:
"umballer"
Off-the-cuff test #2, searched for "Ubuntu" and I ended up with "Ubunut" ... you can't make this up. :-)
Test #3, typed Launchpad, ended up with a search for "Laudaphcn".
Keyboard input everywhere else on the system is otherwise normal and snappy. No pun intended, really.
FWIW Nautilus files preferences are as default (Search in subfolders, Show thumbnails, File count == This computer only).

Side question: Since this system has transitioned across several upgrades from 20.04 to 22.10, do I really need all of these core* and gnome* snaps?

I cannot reproduce the jumbled characters, but I can confirm that the Nautilus search has become orders of magnitude slower after the upgrade to 22.10 on my computer, too. Is there an open bug for this performance regression?
