spacefm is my favourite, it has a lot of useful features(too many for some)... tho its file search is a separate app(included in its package)
that said, i dont mind thunar or pcmanfm or others...
there is also pfilesearch in the accessories menu for searching,,,
but then theres always mc if you want to go hard core

Salutations...
SpaceFM is feature rich and it used to be the 003-lxqt.xzm default.
It was removed under the argument it was unmaintained.
However... it continues to be maintained as a maintenance fork.
In any case... it is infinetly superior to PcMan which is was forked from.
IMHO...
I prefer
Xfe because it uses
Fox toolkit instead of Gtk/Qt.
It's in the USM (see...
http://webwarper.net/ww/~av/slakfinder. ... pkg=635211 )
"Best Regards"...

Nemo. Nemo and caja same provenance. Nemo more polished, imo. Normal usage restricted to:
- Finding files
- Marking Directories. Quickly bookmark a directory. Then when opening some other app like gnome-mplayer or transmission etc, one can just jump to relevant directory, without going through the tree.
- Renaming files, especially with spaces or other special characters in their names.
- Deleting the odd file. Following a close shave when almost a whole filesystem deleted (too much power to the fm), prefer to do more complicated deletions thru CLI, and preferably with -i switch.

USM does not have it. Failing any other suggestion, my dependencies resolver will do the trick.

its a tricky business finding something that is lightweight
and useful..

I didn't read the links...too long.
..however:
-- rightclick search funktion for Thunar (1.6.10 XFCE 32 Bit) --
start Thunar > Edit > "configure custom actions" > add a new action > Basic Tab >
Name = search, Description = find Files and Folders, Command =
pfilesearch -d %f
Choose an icon (if you like) > Appearance conditions Tab choose (e.g) Directories.
Save it.
