Nautilus 2



I have Gnome2 running now, thanks to using the experimental binaries
strictly, rather than some unstable ones. Other than I can't get Sawfish
to work with it, I like it (hello, MetaCity, even if it isn't as
powerful at window placement management). Other than the next generation
Control Centre only gives me access to the screensaver, I still like it
(although I have to use the Gnome 1.4 control centre for now.)

But I don't see any constructive changes in Nautilus. Version 2.0.7, on
Debian, has noticeably less features at present than is the case in
version 1.0.6 - particularly, the loss of the Find feature. That was
disappointing - I watch the cpu cycles and disk activity that
medusa-indexd uses every day, and realise that they are being squandered
on a service I cannot use. Bummer. I really like the find feature - the
ability to track down where terms were used in order to be able to find
documentation - nice! A graphical super-locate ;) I'd also like to be
able to change the font for it, but that is gone from the Nautilus2
preferences for now, and I don't have enough in the Gnome2 Control
Centre yet to set them there.

Does anyone know if the Find functionality is gone for good? Should I
consider Medusa to be obsolete and remove it?
