Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Steps:
1) Navigate to a directory in the filesystem that is not your home directory
2) Click on the "Search" button.
3) Enter the name of the file to search for
4) Hit enter to start search.
Nautilus will then automatically begin the search in your home directory regardless of which directory you have navigated to. If you wish to choose your current directory to be the starting point, you have to then manually select the Location drop-down box and navigate once more. This should not be the intended behavior and is counterintuitive. The default should be that the search starts from the current directory and recurses downward in the tree.
