	Nautilus doesn't support type-ahead anymore and instead uses search-as-you-type within the file manager. What I want is to have it behave similar to Windows Explorer where typing within the file manager will jump to and select the file in the current directory with the search. What I don't want is Nautilus's behavior where the entire contents of the current directory is replaced by only search results.

			Workaround is to use another file manager such as Thunar or the patched version of Nautilus. There are precompiled binaries of the patched version for Ubuntu, but I don't see anything for NixOS.
