DESCRIPTION

15       GNOME Search Tool is a utility for finding files  on  your  system.  To
16       perform  a basic search, you can type a filename or a partial filename,
17       with or without wildcards. To refine your search, you can  apply  addi‐
18       tional search options.
19
20       GNOME  Search  Tool  uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The
21       case sensitivity of the search depends on your  operating  system.  For
22       example,  on  Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i
23       option, so all searches are case-insensitive.

25       For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help.
