Places->Search for Files... should launch nautilus search

In the panel Places menu, Search for Files... should launch nautilus/beagle search instead of gnome-search-tool
Patches submitted to nautilus and gnome-panel.
Beagle is not the same of Gnome search. Beagle indexes the directory you choose, gnome search is a graphical front-end to search in your filesystem. Please restore it to the default.
It is our belief users rarely want to search the whole filesystem. gnome-search-tool is still shipped.
gnome-search-tool allows the user to search in specific directory and following specific criteria. It's useful if you want to look for a file in a non indexed directory, or if you don't want to index tons of data. Moreover, beagle is accessible using the icon in the notification area.
Where it is and how can I replace begle with the standard feature?
Its in gnome-utils which is probably already installed on your system. You could simply edit /opt/gnome/share/applications/nautilus-search.desktop to use it by default. Change the Exec line to Exec=gnome-search-tool That should do it.
Thanks!
