I installed nginx using apt-get. There are now many folders and files with "nginx" in their name. Using the file browser (nautilus) i search for "nginx" with "All Files" selected.
It will not find anything outside of my home folder. I have restarted and also tried the command updatedb, but it still cant find anything outside my home folder.
How do I change this? It feels like search is broken.

Please make sure that you navigate the nautilus to the parent directory of
/home
.For example File System that you can search all of the file in your machine.
To perform search just simply press Ctrl+F.
Please note that: I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with GNOME 3 Classic.
