Comment 8 for bug 1711241

Ok, I see now that there is a drop-down connected to the Search field that offers the choice between "Full Text" and "File Name". Without tracker running, they both do the same thing.

tracker is now a required build-dependency for nautilus (not a problem since we've already been doing that for all Ubuntu architectures).

Without tracker running, you won't have the new full text search. The Batch Rename feature allows renaming using metadata but that won't work either.

Of course the nautilus maintainer doesn't like us not including tracker by default but the app is still usable without tracker: it's just not as nice and search is likely slower.

One more issue: assuming we don't install tracker by default for Ubuntu 17.10 and assuming the issue isn't fixed, I intend to release note https://bugs.debian.org/865496
