Title:
  nautilus search doesn't work as described in help

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  EXPECTED RESULT: When using the search function in Nautilus (Go >
  Search for Files...), according to the help it should search for
  filenames matching the search text as well as the contents of files,
  i.e.:

  In the Nautilus help is says:
  "Enter characters present in the name or CONTENTS OF THE FILE or folder you wish to find and press Enter".

  ACTUAL RESULT: It just searches the filenames not the contents of
  files.

  So either the help is wrong (hopefully not as searching contents of
  files is useful), or there seems to be a bug in Nautilus.

  
  Version Information:
  Nautilus: 2.30.1
  Ubuntu: 10.04 LTS

  Note: Searching in a directory containing .java files.
