[Trisquel-users] quick search function on gnome-shell

[adel]

I used Synapse (on Trisquel Mini) until recently, to locate and open  
folders/documents quickly.  I switched to gnome-shell today (thanks for your  
help onpon, lembas, and riaz).  Is there a way to search for documents and  
folders quickly on gnome-shell, similar to Synapse?
