Jeremy Bícha (jbicha) wrote : Enable tracker by default for Unity too

For Nautilus' built-in search to not be very slow, Nautilus needs to use tracker for search.

This is especially important since it's being seriously proposed for Ubuntu 17.10 that we drop the "type-ahead search" patch that reverted the removal of that feature by Nautilus years ago.

To not cripple Ubuntu GNOME, it was decided to let Nautilus build against tracker but not use that functionality on Unity. See this patch:
