Public bug reported:
Currently, Whisker Menu does not offer a file search functionality.
Therefore, I would like to suggest adding a new search action to Whisker
Menu that would let the user search for files within home directory. The
new search action could look like this:
name=Search for files
pattern=-
command=catfish --path=~ --start %s
regex=false
The same custom action could also be added to xfce4-appfinder:
Pattern: -
Command: catfish --path=~ --start %s
The reason why I haven't used "catfish --start %s" as a command is because if
you try to search for "Music" (or any other term that is a name for one of the
folders in user home directory) with this command, it will open that folder in
catfish instead of displaying it in a list of files and folders that have been
found to match the search term.
