Among these enhancements, the Nautilus (Files) file manager stands out with its new global search mode.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>In the course of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/gnome-46-alpha-desktop-released-for-public-testing-heres-whats-new\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GNOME 46<\/a><\/strong> development cycle, a number of new features and improvements have been integrated into Nautilus to elevate file management in GNOME. Some notable additions include advanced discoverability of custom folder icons, detection of file copy\/move operations beyond the 4GB limit on FAT file systems, a refreshing Network view, and much more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Furthermore, its search functionality has also seen enhancements, including the capacity to identify markdown files as text documents during search. Now, Nautilus has incorporated a new distinct global search mode, which is expected to be open for public testing as part of the upcoming GNOME 46 beta release, scheduled for next week.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Last in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/gnome-45-3-released-to-allow-sharing-of-wpa3-sae-networks-with-qr-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GNOME 45<\/a><\/strong> desktop environment series, Nautilus had already included the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/gnome-45s-nautilus-file-manager-gets-a-modern-full-height-sidebar-layout\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Search Everywhere&#8221;<\/a><\/strong> feature, which broadens the scope of file search by permitting searches in various locations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Now, it would seem that the \u201cSearch Everywhere\u201d functionality has been extended to a global search feature in the imminent GNOME 46 release. This newly developed global search mode is located in the search button, which has now been relocated into the sidebar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>When this search button is pressed, Nautilus showcases the Search Everywhere view, enabling users to locate files and folders in all the search locations that have been designated in the Search panel in Settings. This aligns seamlessly with most of the default GNOME applications, where the search button is prominently situated on the left side of the title bar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>This global search view further provides swift access to the Search Locations setting via an \u201cOpen Search Settings\u201d button. This button is displayed before initiating a search process and when no search outcomes are found.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>For more details about Nautilus\u2019 new global search mode, you can check out <em><a href=\"https:\/\/gitlab.gnome.org\/GNOME\/nautilus\/-\/merge_requests\/1428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">this merge request<\/a><\/em>.
