GNOME 3 search bar with no results

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 with GNOME 3 on my laptop. I use my laptop for university work, so often times I find myself using the search function of Gnome to get to certain class folders quickly. I've run into the issue where I get "No Results" when searching for a folder I know exists and have searched for many times.

I went to Settings and found the Search tab. There is an option to check on/off the different results you want to show up, "Files" being one of them. Within the Files option, you can add what folders you want to show up specifically. Even after I put the folders I want in, the search bar continues to come up with no results.

I have "Files" selected:

I specifically want to search for my "scripts" directory, so I add it to the search locations:

I type in "scripts" and it doesn't show up:

What can I do here? Is there a simple fix I'm just missing?
