Linux First Steps Part I
Find File; the Find box appears in your Konqueror window. You can also start the kfind window
by typing kfind from a Terminal window.
Figure 3-5 shows the kfind window in Konqueror.
FIGURE 3-5
Search for files and folders from the kfind window.
Simply type the name of the file you want to search for (in the Named text box) and the folder,
including all subfolders, you want to search in (in the Look in text box). Then click the Find button.
Use metacharacters, if you like, with your search. For example, search for *.rpm to find all files that
end in .rpm, or z*.doc to find all files that begin with z and end with .doc. You can also select
to have the search be case-sensitive or click the Help button to get more information on searching.
To further limit your search, you can click the Date Range tab and then enter a date range (between),
a number of months before today (during the previous x months), or the number of days before
today (during the previous x days). Select the Advanced tab to choose to limit the search to files of
a particular type (of Type), files that include text that you enter (Containing Text), or that are of a
certain size (Size is) in kilobytes.
