Comment 4 for bug 888607

I have the same problem with ubuntu 11.10, recent files appear in the list, but typing does not filter the results. In addition, if you type in the main dash page (the one that appears when you press the super key), applications and music are being searched, but not files. In 11.04 it worked like a charm. I tried to reinstall but no luck. It simply does not work.

Note that I have installed over an existing ubuntu installation (same home folder) so it contains configuration files from older releases. In a fresh install it works ok, so I wonder if there is an issue with some configuration file. Does anybody know what are the relevant configuration files and how they should look like?

Thanks in advance for any help.
