Ah, OK. So it doesn't use grep. Nowadays I mostly use find/grep from the command-line as I think I can use them now (it took long enough for me to get used to the quotes etc.). First search tool I was introduced to was Searchmonkey. It was pretty good and newbie friendly. Then I switched to gnome-search-tool. That's a very good example of a GUI search tool. Unfortunately upstream started breaking it little-by-little outside GNOME. Not that it can't work, it just doesn't want to. First they broke opening folders from the results¹ and now it doesn't even start-up without nautilus installed². File-roller used to have similar issues, the dev quickly fixed them and it's a great cross-desktop archiver. So I have mate-search-tool which is gnome-search-tool 2.32, basically. But currently it comes bundled in the mate-utils package. ¹ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812495 ² https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874762 _______________________________________________ xfce mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce
