The recent version of Nautilus always searches the whole filesystem with
tracker inputs. This feature is very much annoying and difficult to locate
the item what the user is searching actually.

I have attached the patch (Borrowed from Ubuntu)  for Nautilus 3.14 to let
the user to Toggle among this feature whether to enable or disable.

This feature is very critical and essential since it disturbs the normal
searching very much.

This seems to be explained in a detailed manner in the past[1] and also
started a relevant discussion[2] on the upstream bug tracker.

Hannes, thanks for adding the patch here, hopefully the maintainers
would like to include it on jessie.

IMHO it is important to add it to let the end user decide if searching
is the right action to do, especially on machines with slow disks, when
the former method is easier for navigation.

Also, this seems to be a duplicate of another bug[3].
