GNOME shell recursive search

Hi.

GNOME shell search doesn't check directories recursively, so I can only find files and directories, which is located directly in my home directory but not inside child directories.

Do you observe the same issue? How can I solve it?

Thanks.

GNOME 3.22

Re: GNOME shell recursive search

Use the find command from a console or terminal window.

The problem is not I cannot find something, the problem is the GNOME shell search utility doesn't check the directories inside $HOME recursively despite it should.
