Symlinks to parent folders not showing in filename results

  1. Make a folder Test
  2. Make a link to Test (link to test)
  3. Put link to test in the folder Test

Open catfish and do a filename search for test in the Test folder, or any parent of the Test folder. link to test will not show in the results.

Found this when trying to replicate #72 outside of /proc. I'm guessing looping symlinks are probably blocked from being searched but the symlink file themselves should probably show up.

Tried it with find and mate-search-tool and got expected results.
