I stumbled over some unintuitive behavior of the search function. If I open gedit for example and hit Ctrl+O
and then navigate to some folder which contains some nested folder structure with certain files in it, then press Ctrl+F
and enter some search term then nothing is found. However in file managers like Caja or Nautilus the results appear. Why does the file-open dialog search not perform recursive search? How can I achieve that behavior?
Thanks in advance!
