I have noticed since a while that dash cannot locate some files that I have on my machine, mainly from Dropbox. We can see below that I have a .pdf file called "TcII professor". If I search for the string "Professor", Nautilus will return me what I want: enter image description here

However, when I launch the dash to look for the same string (Professor), I got no result: enter image description here

Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Apparently, Unity by default uses Zeitgeist for searching files, which is why only previously opened files are found.

You can try to install Unity FileSearch Lens for full file search, or follow this answer (a bit dated though).
