I just discovered "catfish" a free front end for "locate" and "find".
"Locate" is a command line Linux program that is about 1000 times
as fast as Windows search. I have been using it for 12 years to search
through several hundred thousand rotary engine related files.
It is easy and quick to use but it searches everything and all directories.
Consequently you get pages of of responses.

Catfish is a graphical front end for "locate" that can be easily be set up to
search a limited number of directories and to discriminate among
graphical files, music and videos and all other files. It slows "locate"
but it is still 100 times faster than Windows search.

It would NOT be practical to answer the thousands of questions I get on
this newsletter without Linux "locate".

I highly recommend it.
