I've written a nice program to find files.

It's especially designed for Thunar
see image

Instructions:

Right click 'Send To' menu and see the
'Search Inside Folder'. You can then do a search
for a file using both a name fragment or date.

Sometimes a logout and then login is necessary for
the Send To menu to be rebuilt. :(

Thank you very much, don570! I appreciate all of your input, especially the XFCE specific stuff ;) I'm trying to catch everything up and make final tweaks before 1.2 final. I don't know that I'll have time to add and test anything new, the window is closing quickly...

Anyway, regarding bulldog finder: there is currently a right click option to search folders in thunar: right click on (or in) a file and select 'search', and that will open pfilesearch, which you are probably familiar with from puppy. Bigbass brought that over as a dependency of pburn, and I have switched to using that instead of catfish in the latest versions of porteus-xfce. Please give that a shot and let me know what the advantages are to using Bulldog vs. Pfilesearch.

Bulldog Finder will actually open a Thunar window which is very convenient.

Combined with Monkey find 1.9 it's enough for a casual user.

Note that it only works with xfce interface :(
