When searching, some files do not appear
Affected version
Provide at least the following information:
- Fedora 38
- GNOME 44.1
- Wayland
- Reproducible without any extension
Bug summary
When opening the Spotlight (this is the name on MacOS, but I really cannot find the name for GNOME, I am sorry $HOME
, but it is not displayed. Not even a “search in files” appears… nevertheless, when searching in Files a.k.a. Nautilus, I do find the file by searching. Sometimes file search works, sometimes it does not.
Steps to reproduce
- Click on the Windows button to open “Spotlight”
- Search for a file or a directory
- The directory does not appear.
What happened
No file(s) appear in global search from “Spotlight”, even though the file(s) exist in $HOME
.
What did you expect to happen
The file should appear in the search, or at least a “search in Files” option should be displayed.
Relevant logs, screenshots, screencasts etc.
