Oh, now, that was too nasty of you! :-D You made me log into Gnome3 just to be 
a witness of a Yet-Another-Great-Design-Decision by the Gnome3 devs... :-D

But to my great disappointment, I actually managed to find the search utility:

Activities (top-left corner) -> Applications (next to "Windows" just below the 
top menu bar) -> Accessories (in the vertical list on the far right) -> Search 
for Files (in the big list of the accessories, at the bottom of the screen --- 
you might need to scroll down the list).

I didn't test it to see if it can recurse subdirectories, however. ;-)

Oh, and don't be dismayed by the "search" field below the top menu bar in the 
top-right corner --- that's for searching the Google and Wikipedia, local 
apps, local places and favorite bookmarks. IOW, for everything *except* the 
files on your drive. Another ingenious masterpiece of The Great Design... ;-)

How wonderful !! :-D

HTH, :-)
