Comment 15 for bug 646724

I think you can't avoid serving a search, that searches for folders and files in a given folder like the good ole' find command for the shell.

ZG is a great thing. It offers a search that is performant and at the same time adjusted to the files the user often needs. But as long as you can't find EVERY and I mean EVERY folder and file (at least) in your home folder it shouldn't displace, but complete the good ole' way of searching.

Both search forms could be done at the same time and be presented in one window. An example: The user searches for the word "thunder". ZG instantly shows AC/DCs Thunderstruck since the user already got the Rhythmbox-ZG-Dataprovider installed, but he can see that the search isn't done yet. He can stop the search if he wishes to, but he can also wait until the folder ".thunderbird" is found, which he was looking for.

I don't see why one shouldn't serve both ways. I use nautlilus-elementary on maverick which also comes with a great ZG search, but since maverick I happen to use the find command a lot...
