Finding files through Thunar

I have xfce installed with thunar as the file manager. It would be very productive to have a tool that allows the user to find files, similar to catfish (which seems to have been developed by the Ubuntu team). Does such a utility exist for non-Ubuntu OS's?

xfce4-session(1)					      General Commands Manual						  xfce4-session(1)

NAME
xfce4-session - Starts up the Xfce Desktop Environment SYNOPSIS
xfce4-session DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-session command. The xfce4-session program starts up the Xfce Desktop Environment and is typically executed by your login manager (e.g. xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm or from your X startup scripts). It will load your last session or a default session that includes the standard Xfce programs if no saved session is available. xfce4-session is an standard X11R6 session manager that can manage any X11R6 SM compliant program, including GNOME and KDE programs. xfce4-session uses the contents of the ~/.cache/sessions/ directory for starting previously saved sessions. OPTIONS
xfce4-session takes the following command line options: --disable-tcp Disable binding to TCP ports in the ICE layer. This is not possible on every platform. If you use this option on a platform that does not support it, xfce4-session will print a warning message and ignore the setting. --help Print a help screen and exit. --version Output version information and exit. ENVIRONMENT
xfce4-session's behaviour is affected by the following environment variables. XDG_CONFIG_HOME Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If this environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.config/ XDG_CONFIG_DIRS Set of preference ordered base directories relative to which configuration files should be searched in addition to the $XDG_CON- FIG_HOME base directory. The directories should be separated with a colon. XDG_CACHE_HOME Specifies the root for all user-specific cache data. If this environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.cache/ FILES
xfce4-session reads its configuration from Xfconf. xfce4-session stores its session data into $XDG_CACHE_HOME/sessions/. AUTHOR
