I would love to see this ability built into Linux Lite. When I use my iMac it does exactly what I need it to do by just typing the Windows key and the spacebar, I can quickly find what I need not only on my internal HD but also my external drives.When I type in for example Miles Davis, it not only brings up the files containing the name Miles Davis but also documents including pdf documents that include the text miles davis. This is very important to me because I need to have this kind of search functionality. I realize that the search option on the Mac (Spotlight) indexes the drives I need it to and bases the search on the constantly updated indexes.
If there is a way to do this in LinuxLite, that would be awesome. I have Catfish installed but maybe I'm not using it properly. I don't want to have to select the folder or drive I want to search. I just want to type in what I am looking for and have a list of everything it has found. If I can do this in Linuxlite than I really have no reason to keep my aging (2006) iMac. :)
Should I post this in one of the help forums as well?
