As the #Nautilus team keeps making progress in refactoring and optimizing #GNOMEFiles, we can see #GNOME's file manager steadily becoming faster.
Among the few performance issues remaining, I believe the probable "Final Boss" of search performance is this issue, which would require some refactoring across the views. Anyone up for a challenge? gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilu…
Slow searching with micro-hangs when typing quickly with many search results (#3452) · Issues · GNOME / Files · GitLab
TLDR: although it has improved in 44-46, and with the fix forGitLab
Huge thanks to @kabushawarib for eliminating the flickering that occurred in #GNOMEFiles 46's "Global Search" feature! This should help performance a bit, and improve #accessibility for light/motion-sensitive users.
If all goes well, the bugfix would probably make its way into #Nautilus 46.3, I presume.

Heavy flickering / refreshing of the view during search as you type (#3403) · Issues · GNOME / Files · GitLab
As of recent versions, including Nautilus 46 and the current nightly / git main version, Nautilus constantly rebuilds/refreshes the search results view everytime you type a character,...GitLab
I have a huge amount of appreciation for the fact that Nautilus / #GNOMEFiles can seamlessly pattern-select, batch-rename and move files both from its treeview and from search results… all with keyboard shortcuts! *Extremely* useful to clean up filenames.
Today, in someone else's messy folders, I was able to cleanly rename everything and eliminate at least 40 duplicates in a directory that contained over 180 files, most of which were in the wrong locations.
