Betreff: [Bug 392292] Re: Tooltip of the Nautilus search button is misleading

This problem remains in Ubuntu 9.10.

In a Nautilus window the search button tooltip is:
"Locate documents and folders on this computer by name or content"

But clicking on it only reveals the interface to search documents and
folders by name.

Bug description:
In the tooltip of the search button of the file browser it says: "Locate documents and folders on this computer by name or content." But it searches only files by name, not by content.

Suggestion 1 (Papercut):
Change the tooltip of the search button to "Locate documents and folders on this computer by name. Look under the menu "Places" - "Search for files" for advanced search."

Suggestion 2 (Optimal) :
Make the default search for files to search on the file and the content. Besides the search bar show a possibility to select more options, e.g. a button "Advanced Search".

-----------------[old description]-------------
Search on the file system does not look in the file content, but only in the file name. E.g. if there is a file with the name abc.txt and the content "I like gnome" and if you search for "gnome", then no results are found. If you search for "abc", the file abc.txt is found.
