I have just upgraded to Trusty and this problem still doesn't seem to
have been fixed, or even assigned to someone. I'm amazed it's not
getting more attention - does anyone actually use the "file" lense, or
do most people really not have files with the same names in different
folders? For me it renders what could be a useful and powerful feature
of the interface completely useless (this is not hype - I cannot use it
unless I am sure it's finding the master copy of a file and not a
backup).

  1. create two folders/files with the same name (in two different locations).
