Hi, I made a patch that adds search functionality to nautilus in a well integrated way by using a findbar similar to the firefox's one. You can see a screencast of this feature and also information about the patch from the following url: http://supertux.cenobioracing.com/nautilus.html I, being a gnome and gentoo user, won't have any problem to maintain this patch against nautilus ebuild if you like it and want to include it. I think it would be a plus to nautilus gentoo users. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
It isn't really our policy to add behavior changing patches to applications like this. I appreciate you offering to maintain it(and writing it) but if you want it included in nautilus, you should get it integrated upstream.
