How To Disable search in nautilus 3.6 while typing text!

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3598 / 1 Year ago, wed, february 8, 2023, 10:04:01

When I am typing for a file in any folder it searches for that file and gives results of the text I entered instead of just searching in the current folder.

How do I get nautilus 3.4 feature of finding a file in current folder on type instead of searching?

Any Help will be Appreciated!

3 working solutions, in order of difficulty:

change the options of any version of Nautilus using gconf-editor:
1. apps -> Nautilus -> preferences;
2. visit org.gnome.nautilus.preferences;
3. check (enable) enable-interactive-search;

replace any version of Nautilus with another file manager (GUIDE / HOW-TO);

install a patched version of Nautilus 3.6 (GUIDE / HOW-TO) and remember to update it frequently;

After following these instructions you should reboot your computer to replace the running instances of Nautilus.
