Comment 7 for bug 334125

The bug report in the GNOME bug tracking system https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437626 has it as "Unconfirmed", 3 full years after it was first reported. It also has its importance set as "Normal minor" I don't know what that is, but it doesn't sound like much.

I think this is a silly bug (or feature) that should be very easy to solve. It is so inconsequent! Either you think your users aren't grown-up enough to deal with hidden files -- and you make them permanently invisible -- or you allow people to see them -- AND search them, obviously. I see no reason to allow the viewing but not the searching.

It seems like the developers of Nautilus don't use their own product when they are developing Nautilus. I'm sure they do lots of searches and expect to find hidden things. They would have tackled this by now if they used it themselves.

What can we do to increase the importance/urgency of this bug?
