dear toby i remeber that everying is a file (i read the original unix design book... now you can guess how old i am (;-)
i use the gnome GUI: i can search fine (for files and folders in my home directory) but not down from root e.g. open filesystem ctrl-f: search for "grub" -- 0 files found (there is a directory in /boot!) using beagle for searches for folders is not convenient, because beagle is not always up-to-date and then does not show. i suggest that the search in nautilus should work from the currently displayed folder recursively downwards and search for folder and files with a given name (allowing wildcards) - and not rely on beagle. the answer in nautilus must be correct for the time i ask. (i guess the above is a one line unix shell command...) if your system does what i describe, then i would be interested to understand where i made an error in installing (i am to ubuntu and back to unix after N years) thanks for the help and the good system andrew Toby Smithe wrote: > Remember everything in UNIX is a file. > > -- ÐÏࡱá -- how to search for folders? https://launchpad.net/bugs/81977 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
