Why did it take so long to get proper search in nemo?

Post by Moonstone Man »

Nemo will feature content search. Until now you could only search for files. In Nemo 5.0 you’ll be able to combine file search and content search, i.e. files which are named a certain way and/or which contain particular words.
Let it be known that those of us who maintain KDE Plasma distributions as client environments have, for a number of years now, relied on mate-utils from the MATE desktop to provide resource-hogging-free, search-database-free full text search from within the KDE/Plasma Dolphin file manager.

So what took so long for Cinnamon's nemo?

Different priorities for the Nemo developers? :roll:
