Re: Slow search in Gnome-shell

Hi everyone:

First thought:

I installed Gnome-Shell from archlinux a few days a go, and was after
a clean pc install,
I tried the search ability of the shell and all looks fine, but after
a while I notice it started to slow down itself.

After that I update my laptop to gnome3 using gnome-shell and
searching there is real pain, I've been using my laptop about 6 months
or so without cleaning the recent files, so you can imagine. When the
search turned out slow on my laptop I erased my recently-used files,
and the search turns lightning fast, so my concerns is
By the time I've been using gnome-shell for two months, I can't be
able to search anything with gnome-shell, nor even apps, which can't
be slower because of the files.

Ouch :(

Do we do a linear scan of the things GtkRecentManager, looking for a string match? Hopefully we can switch over to sqlite or whatever Zeitgeist uses then.
 

Second thought:

What about adding a third category to the dash, besides windows and
apps, place a files there, like the one in Unity ?

This was omitted in gnome-shell 3.0 because of time constraints. This is top priority for 3.2:
