Comment 12 for bug 662619

My variation on this problem:

File search (whether from Launcher bar or from Dash) finds SOME files but not nearly ALL.

For example: I have many files with the name Berdy in them. (Columnist for Moscow Times.) The search returns five files (and offers one additional file) when I have dozens. All of these filenames are entitled 100_Berdy-[specific name of article]; all of them are in the same folder.

Searches also return files that don't have the search term either in the title or in the contents--at least the visible contents.

Basically, why does the file searcher work partially but not fully? HOWEVER, the file search utility provided under "accessories" ("стандартные" in the Russian-language version--calculator, text editor, etc.) seems to work fine.

Referring back to Alex Launi's comments, 2011-03-03:

1) unity-place-applications and unity-place-files are installed according to the package manager.

2) "Are you using unity from trunk?" What does that mean? I'm logged in as any ordinary owner/user. "If so you need to copy the .place files from /usr/share/unity/places into /usr/local/share/unity/places"--there is no "unity" folder in /usr/local/share/. Should I make a directory and copy the files?
