Bug Description

I open Nautilus and want to find a file, or search on a string.
Neither function works.
So for instance, I have a file called "diary.org" and also have other files called diary.txt and diary.odt. I also have 30 other "org" files.

I open Nautilus and hit FIND.

If i type "diary.org" it shows me that one file.
If I type "*.org" I get nothing at all.
If I type "diary.*" I get nothing at all.

This is true even though all the files are in the same folder and at the same level.
