Separate search into several functions in nautilus

Applications
1

in ubuntu I noticed “search” = search all directories for files matching on name + search the same files for content.

I feel these are 3 different functions

  1. Search current directory for filename matching (eases navigation)
  2. Search current directory + contained ones recursively for filename matching
  3. Search current directory OR contained ones recursively for content matching

I get you want to make a boomer proof experience, but It really makes the experience low precision if you you’re not a boomer.

Both the recursive search and the content search can be turned off. Also note that current folder results appear on top of other results, but there’s no visible separator to distinguish between them right now.
