--- Comment #6 from [email protected] --- (In reply to hyperspeed1313 from comment #5) > Can't guarantee it but I'm pretty sure all my symlinks in my home folder > *stay* in my home folder at the target.

I assume you are doing a filename search. You can compare the results of: cd ...whereever... find . -name "*whatever*" which supposedly does not follow symlinks, with: find -L . -name "*whatever*" which *does* follow symlinks. You'd check whether this latter "find" gives you the same as Dolphin... For content searches, you'd compare grep -r whatever with grep -R whatever the "-R" is a recursive search following symlinks. > ...

That's a good point. I think the Simple Search shows the actual, target filename, it makes sure that if there are several links to the file it only shows you the one match. YMMV on this though... > ... yes, I know that I'm not the one you asked ... It was a general quesion, anyone could answer :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
