NAME

       gnome-search-tool - the GNOME Search Tool

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-search-tool [options]

       or select Search for Files...  from a Main Menu or from the Places menu in a Menu Bar

DESCRIPTION

       GNOME  Search Tool is a utility for finding files on your system. To perform a basic search, you can type a filename or a partial filename,
       with or without wildcards. To refine your search, you can apply additional search options.

       GNOME Search Tool uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The case sensitivity of the search depends on your operating  system.  For
       example, on Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i option, so all searches are case-insensitive.

       For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help.
