GNOME removed type-ahead find in Nautilus 3.6, not without controversy:

Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories. I personally find this annoying. If I want to search, I'll click the search icon. Often I'm looking at a long directory listing and simply want to jump to a certain point in it, and type-ahead find works great for that.

Would Ubuntu consider patching type-ahead find back in?
