Searching is extremly slow

[EimerWasser]

Searching in Nemo is very slow. For example: if I search in "/" for e.g. "firefox", Nautilus just needs one or two seconds. Nemo needs more than three minutes! That is too much. The bug is still in the current version 2.4.4. The problem particulary occurs in directorys with many subdirectorys like "/" or "/usr/". In directorys with fewer subdirectorys like "/home/...~/" it is fast.

Anyone have any tips on how to fix this?

Tested in Nemo 3.0.6. It took about 9 seconds to show the results of the searching (I also searched "firefox" in "/").

Sounds like something that's been fixed in later versions. Unfortunately, those haven't been released to everyone.

Mint 17.3 Cinnamon
Nemo 2.8.7
All available updates installed.

Just searched / for "firefox" and it took 7 minutes to return results.

@EimerWasser, is this still an issue for you with Nemo 3.2?

@JosephMcc, can we close the issue?

So you don't care that it's still effecting users on 17.x?

17.x doesn't get newer versions due to major changes in the version of packages between 17->18. So simple fact is that it won't change in Mint17.

I have this, running 18.2. It's ridiculous. Search is barely useful, takes several minutes to even search a small subfolder.
