In most cases that's part of a full-text search facility. In Ubuntu and derivatives (like Mint) it's part of the core system.
The usage is as follows (for example): search for "Some Text String" -c -s which would provide file names where you may find the text string you were looking for. In debian derivatives the following command will tell you what package installed a particular file: dpkg -S "filename" (e.g. dpkg -S /usr/local/bin/search) On 06/27/2013 03:37 PM, [email protected] wrote: > What is this and how might one use it? > > I found this on my system.
