Same problem described here: http:// askubuntu. com/questions/ 334229/ dash-is- not-searching- all-files
The workaround is to edit `/etc/updatedb. conf` and change `PRUNEFS` to not skip `ecryptfs` file systems.
With a caveat: this will leak the names of files in your home folder onto non-encrypted storage
