Hi,

I switched from Debian 7 to Debian 8. The nautilus file browser is now
updated and I am particularly interested in removing one of its new
features. The new 'search as you type' feature does not make sense to me.
If I wanted to search for a file starting down from the current directory I
would expect to hit CTRL+F or just use the terminal. And while browsing
through the file system I would expect that I select files when I type on
the keyboard, not search for them recursively. This is slow and breaks user
experience. At least that's my point of view. So, do you know how I can get
the "old" search back. I tried

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences enable-interactive-search true


but it seems that there is no such key in Debian - I read this in an Ubuntu
forum. I got used to Nautilus so I would like to continue using it. But if
there is no way to get the old search back I will switch to something
orthodox that can do it.


Thanks,

Vladimir
