[Bug 1767817] [NEW] Full text search does not work

[Mordi]

Public bug reported:

Background: I have installed Tracker. It has finished indexing. I can
also use Tracker's command line interface to search by content.

1.

Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release: 18.04

2.

nautilus:
Installed: 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4
Candidate: 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4
Version table:
*** 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4 500
500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3. I expect to be able to search files by content from Nautilus, because
this feature worked in 17.10.

4. I get no results from full text search unless the search matches file
names.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it
would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers
of the software by following the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please
tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a
bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but the process seems a bit too complex for me.

I kind of figured this out. In addition to Tracker, you need Gnome
Documents and gnome-shell-extensions installed. Launch Gnome Documents,
and it will index your files. Now you will be able to search by content
from Gnome Documents and Gnome Shell, but still not from Nautilus.
Perhaps this is because Ubuntu installs an older version of Nautilus
(3.26).

I think nautilus 3.26 should do full text search. If not, there are two possibilities
Remove the option from the search menu.

Implement/fix the full text search capability.

Gnome developers think that this issue is a decision made by Ubuntu:

"Unfortunately, Ubuntu disables the technology we use for that. Please
report there."

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/451

As said above, Full text search should be removed from Ubuntu if it is
not even supposed to work.

I have three computers, two desktops and one laptop. Two of them has a newly installed Ubuntu 18.04 and one has an upgraded 18.04 (from 17.10). In one desktop I installed ubuntu 18.04 in virtualbox. For every operating system I installed tracker. Full text search in nautilus doesn't work in any of them.
It must be a bug.

I have the same problem. Does also not work with the nautilus version
from flathub.
