Nemo not showing folders in search results

[pooky2483]

Distribution

Linux Mint 22.3 (Zena), Kernel: 7.0.0-28-generic x86_64

Package version

Nemo 6.6.3

Frequency

Always

Bug description

When using Nemo's built-in search (Ctrl+F), only files are shown in the results. Folders are not included in the search output.

Steps to reproduce

Open Nemo
Navigate to a folder containing subfolders
Press Ctrl+F to search
Type a search term that matches folder names

Expected behavior

Expected behavior: Search results should show both files and folders matching the query, with an option to filter by type (files only, folders only, or both).

Actual behavior: Only files appear in search results; folders are excluded.

Additional information

No response

At least in LMDE7, I can't reproduce this - I get sub-folders and files using this feature on a default recursive search by name (not contents).
As far as I am aware, it's not possible to filter by type (files only, folders only, or both).

I installed tracker-miner-fs and it fixed the issue.
I can now see search results that include my folders/nested folders

[Jeremy7701]

tracker-miner-fs is an indexing utility which some have found to be a CPU hog (see any good web search).
I have tried a nemo search in a VM Mint 22.3 and it displays folders and files, without problems.
tracker-miner-fs is NOT installed, nor is it installed in standard Mint.

Are you sure you're even using nemo? Tracker support is a compile-time option, and not supported by default.

Either way, glad your issue is resolved.
