Public bug reported:

I think this changed when I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.10.

When searching by typing, which only searches in the current directory,
hidden files are now selected. This would maybe be fine except that
there's no feedback that a hidden file has been selected. Normally, if a
file exists it's selected and nautilus will scroll to its location. If
it's hidden, it seems like it doesn't scroll to its location.

So if you want a file that does exist, but there's also a hidden file
that begins the same way, there's no feedback that any file named what
you want exists in that folder.

As a practical example, gedit automatically saves the previous version
of a file to "<name~" when one is saved, which is a hidden file. When
sorted by modification date, that older file will come first, and
automatically typing will not indicate that the desired, non-hidden file
exists, although it can still be selected by scrolling after typing.
