If you are not satisfied with your search utility, there is always google desktop that was developped by google, which will once it has indexed all the files on your computer, find files in a second. There is a reason for thatGoogle Desktop is a version of Google’s powerful indexing and search system on your desktop .Really its fast, even faster than booting into porteus. Which is not the least.
I am trying to get google desktop running on porteus 2.0 xfce 64bit. It seems that the program is working but that some fonts are missing or something like that. I get a series of small boxes instead of the usual characters. Do you have any suggestion, before I try to build it from source?
However, for those using it under 32bit it works completely fine.
Here is the slackware file for 32 bit, if you mind having a look at it:

If you are on 64 bit, you will need compat files for 64 bit to run the package:
