Bug Description
I have a bunch of videos on my Windows partition, and I symlink to those videos in my Videos folder. With nothing typed in the search field, I'm assuming this shows all videos on my machine under the "On this Computer" section. With nothing typed, no videos from the symlink'd folder are shown in the "On this Computer" folder. I would assume that they would since those files are still in that folder (from an end-user perspective, at least), and because of those reasons I'm filing those bugs reports.

same here: I'm symlinking my personal folders containing large amount of data (Music, Video) to another partition (easier for reinstalling the system for example). The music however is found by the music lens, Video is not found by the video lens (both on the same partition)
