Re: Nautilus Search doesn't work as expected.

Hi,

I have already posted this question to the Distro support forum without
any luck.

I am running Centos 5.0 with all current updates (Therefore 5.1 I
assume) with the full gnome desktop and most options instlled. Nautilus
reports as Version 2.16.2
I have never found that the Search function in Nautilus (ctrl F or
button) works as I would expect. It will usually find a file in the
current directory with a matching name - but will not find any files in
subdirectories, unless they have been found recently. When it doesn't
find anything it sits there with the "busy" mouse pointer for ever - or
at least until I click "stop".

I have done some google research - and the ubuntu community describe
similar problem behaviour when "tracker" and/or "indexing" is disabled.

I haven't found any way to disable or enable either tracker or Indexing
- so I assume these are not part of the Centos distribution.

Can anyone throw any light on this problem? Am I misinterpreting how the
search should behave? Have I got something set incorrectly? Do I need to
install or enable some indexing function? Is the distributed build of
Nautilus expecting some functionality which isn't installed on my system?

Thanks

Richard.
