NAME

gnome-search-tool - the GNOME Search Tool

SYNOPSIS

gnome-search-tool [options]

or select Search for Files... from a Main Menu or from the Places menu in a Menu Bar

DESCRIPTION

GNOME Search Tool is a utility for finding files on your system. To perform a basic
search, you can type a filename or a partial filename, with or without wildcards. To
refine your search, you can apply additional search options.

GNOME Search Tool uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The case sensitivity of
the search depends on your operating system. For example, on Linux, the find, grep, and
locate commands support the -i option, so all searches are case-insensitive.

For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help.
