Is there the ability to "search" in Linux lite?

[JanetBiggar]

I was unsure where to post this question - I was wondering if similar to Mac's (spot light or search light) and even Windows if there an equivalent ability to search for something by name or topic (when you've forgotten the exact title) actually "on" the computer like these other OS's allow you to do.

I have googled and also checked the forum for similar questions, but haven't found anything.
