Leap 15.0, XFCE. I don't know what "program" does it, the title of the box says "search for files". There is no "about" box. But in the "ps afxu" list I see that "gnome-search-tool" is running. I select to search: Name contains: *odt Look in folder: cer (that's my home) Select more options contains the text: cucaracha Finds nothing. Which is absurd, I have that LO doc opened, the file does exist. If I try search without a content, also finds nothing. Again absurd, I have many *odt files on my home. I can not see in the entire application menu what to use to configure the search, but I have used it in the past, so it must exist. Anyway, this tool says it uses "find(1), locate(1), grep(1)". Grep? Wasn't there a tool in gnome or xfce that created an index of contents that took a lot of resources, similar to baloo in KDE? What's it name? Ah, tracker. If I run "tracker" nothing happens. It seems to be a CLI program. cer@Telcontar:~> tracker status Currently indexed: 107064 files, 5715 folders Remaining space on database partition: 59,0 GB (56,13%) All data miners are idle, indexing complete cer@Telcontar:~> The rpm description says: tracker - Object database, tag/metadata database, search tool and indexer Tracker is a desktop-neutral object database, tag/metadata database, search tool and indexer. There must be a GUI to it! The wikipedia says "Tracker has been adopted by the GNOME desktop environment and is heavily integrated into GNOME Shell and GNOME Files." Ok, how do I use it? I don't see it in Nautilus (aka gnome files). I see a search button, but I do not see how to search for a file pattern with a certain content. [...] Ok, found it, and it does locate the "cucarachas" files. Not easy at all to find it, and each time I need it I have to search first how to do it... Took an hour! -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
