I want to search the entire file system for a file.
Using gnome, I click on the filing-cabinet icon on the desktop and a file-manager program opens.
By “checking” go/search_for_files, a search toolbar opens, and I type the name of the file, then press enter.
As a test case, I search for a known file, but the file manager doesn’t find it.
A search results toolbar appears with location and File_system drop down windows, additional search criteria can be added using the + (plus) sign.
Pretty simple, but I can’t find an option to search the entire partion for a file.
What am I missing?

Hi Nautilus search is unfortunately broken in 3.4. It does works in 3.6 though. You need to wait for 12.3 for that.
