Comment 1 for bug 827420

When I created a new document and folder on the desktop like you did I got the same results, but when I opened the document in an editor (gedit, open office, etc) it was added to the indexer. Then it appeared when I search in 'dash' (Super + F).

I do see a problem with the folder though as it doesn't seem to be getting added to the indexer, I also tested it with English and got the same results; 0 found. So I am going to have to look at zg to see how it indexes folders.

It only seems to index files when they are opened by a program otherwise you would have a lot source files and other random files appearing which might have been one reason for that. I am not sure what the 'expected' result is for all files and folders on the entire computer are, but the ones you test should be indexed whether they are opened or not. At lease in those specific folders, which would be more commonly used for non-development.

I will have to look at zg since this is where the files and folders are getting indexed and matched on.
