Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I try to search for files in a specific directory. The problem is, Nautilus does not search in the specified folder. I set the Nautilus sidebar to treeview (or however the "Baum"-view is called in english), and have nautilus display a certain folder. When I press STRG+F or click on the search-icon I would like Nautilus to search for the search-expression in the active and shown folder, not somewhere else. But Nautilus does not search in the active folder (in this case on my USB-drive), but somewhere else, I think in the home-folder and /usr/share/. It doesn't find the file I am looking for, though I can see that there are files in the currently displayed folder that match with the search string.
This is a very illogical behaviour for me. Nautilus should search by default in the currently shown folder, not somewhere else. Or there should be the possibility to define where to search.
