Xfce thunar file search without catphish
Hi, is there a file and folder search function on xfce that doesn't require catphish or gnome-search-tool? I don't want to use an external application to search a file using a tricky way. I'm searching a simple and speedy search option. What do you suggest ?

find
Obviously you can apply more grep filters and/or use regex etc depending on the results you want to get and how ambiguous your search term is.
Code: Select all
# find / | grep command-not-found
/usr/bin/command-not-found
/usr/sbin/update-command-not-found

Re: Xfce thunar file search without catphish
Yes I use locate too but that would require installing another package (although very small) which I think the OP was trying to avoid.
