Dash - "See more results" shortcut doesn't lead to more results

[Eduardo Santos]

Ubuntu 18.04.1

Description / How to reproduce:

- Open the dash, search for any word you know that should bring multiple file results. Now imagine that you wanted to check the full results and not only the few that the dash shows, so you click in "Files" icon, in the left side, which is a kind of shortcut to the full list of the results for your search.

3) What you expected to happen
This should open a new window with all the results of your search.

4) What happened instead
It does open a window but no results are shown, and no matter what you search, it will bring no results in that window.
However, if you close that window and open any folder to search, it will work just fine. It just doesn't work if you use the "shortcut" from the dash.

Can't reproduce this on cosmic. Can you take a screenshot ? Make sure all the default scopes and the local dash-plugins are enabled. Online scopes will be removed in disco.

A screenshot of the page with no results?

It's in Portuguese, but there isn't much to see...

That's nautilus. And nautilus doesn't use trackerin 18.04. But it should still find something. Check if search is disabled or not. Not a unity bug.

Nautilus search is working fine, as stated in the description. Except when you come from dash. I don't know if that's a problem from the dash or nautilus.

advised to change this to gnome-shell

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

I'm reassigning to nautilus since nautilus provides the gnome-shell search provider.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thanks for your bug report, indeed that's still an issue, reported upstream now on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/870
