It is my experience that Ubuntu Search also crashes when searching from the home directory.

- Most likely to occur with short searches (three to four letters)
- More likely to happen early in the session than after a few restarts of the session.

Core functionality of a modern file browser that stripped type-ahead search away to make place for recursive search. More dan "Medium" importance according to me.

Nautilus 3.26.4 is where I am still experiencing the issue.

In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.
