Changing Scope of Search in GNOME Shell Overview?

Hi,
I'm using the GNOME shell in Trisquel 7, and want to be able to search
my home folder within the overview, as I can do in other distros. E. G.
type the name of a frequently-accessed document and have gedit open it
right from the shell. I've used other distros in which 'search' is a
category in System Settings; from there, one can toggle the areas for
the search to cover.
Thanks,
Dave
Greetings Dave.
If I recall correctly, Trisquel uses gnome 3.10. I'm using 3.12 so I cannot check if this works:
The Gnome search program AFAIK is called "Tracker", in order to configure it you have to summon a terminal and type:
$ tracker-preferences
A window should pop up.
I don't know what kind of settings will show up in 3.10 so let's hope it will work for you.

Thanks for your suggestion; I installed the tracker-gui package; now,
can set preferences.

Having set indexing preferences, I find that I still cannot find files
from my home directory in the shell's overview area. Is there an
additional service that needs to be started? Maybe an applet that needs
installing? Something else?
Thanks,
Dave
