Bug#682071: nautilus: Built-in search does not work for non-indexed directories when tracker is enabled

Hello.
So, Tracker comes with some defaults of places to index, but when
doing a search with CTRL+F in Nautilus in a place outside that index is
currently _very_ broken, because it doesn't show results but also
doesn't tell the user why it isn't returning results and not using any
fall-back whatsoever...
I hope newer Nautilus has this sorted somehow but if a backport of
the fixes isn't easy, then, in my opinion (for whats is worth...), the
best thing for users is to recompile Nautilus without Tracker support.
I did this for my friend but its not good to make every user go
through that trouble, no drawbacks found yet; indexing everything was
not possible, too much files, slow wifi network...
The trouble wasn't recompiling but actually figuring out what was
going on, that took a lot of time...
So please, give this bug the importance that it deserves and take
some reasonable measure.
My fingers are crossed...
Thanks a lot for reading!
