Hi.
I am running LMDE 64-bit. Quick search in Synaptic doesn't show (is grayed out).
I have seen this bug report and this thread. Both suggest installing "apt-xapian-index" package,
but the issue isn't resolved after installing this package.
Thank you.

Re: Quick search in Synaptic is grayed out
Have you restarted Synaptic in between? Logged out and back in? Rebooted?
Re: Quick search in Synaptic is grayed out
Yes several times, but with no luck. I've also tried running these commands followed by reboot.Silent Warrior wrote:Have you restarted Synaptic in between? Logged out and back in? Rebooted?
sudo apt-get install --reinstall synaptic
sudo apt-get install --reinstall synaptic apt-xapian-index
I have another system running LMDE 32-bit. I have checked Synaptic related packages in both systems.
The only difference I see is a package called "libxapian15" which is installed in 32-bit, but not in 64-bit.
However, this is what I get in 64-bit:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libxapian15
E: Unable to locate package libxapian15

@ Silent Warrior
Thank you. "Quick filter" is there now!
This is what happened. I opened Synaptic again and saw some packages
under "Not installed (residual config)". Then I marked them all with Ctrl-A,
but I changed my mind and didn't uninstall them because I saw evolution
among them. I closed Synaptic, opened a terminal and ran these:
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
After this I opened Synaptic again to see what other packages besides
evolution are put in "Not installed (residual config)". And then I saw that
Quick filter is there. Strange!
Thanks a lot for your reply. I will mark the thread as SOLVED now.
