> Ubuntu [...] never does anything I don't expect. Especially when it comes to finder/explorer/nautilus.

You expect typing letters while having the file explorer window focused to launch a full recursive file search?

For what it's worth, I discovered this feature on accident because I naturally expected it to do that.

Interesting expectation given that on Windows, OSX and the other Linux file explorers I've tried, typing selects from the list of files in the current folder, with a behavior similar to an HTML "select" element.
