Ctrl-S select pattern works in icon view (will select multiple files), but not in list view (will only select one file).
If it helps, this also affects a selection once it is pasted/copied to a destination, same pattern as selection. i.e. pasting a selection of files in icon view mode, the selection is retained, whereas pasting in list view, only one file remains selected.
FWIW, this bug is present in Ubuntu 15.04 beta 2.
