NAME
       gnome-search-tool - the GNOME Search Tool

SYNOPSIS
       gnome-search-tool [options]

       or select Search for Files...  from a Main Menu or from the Places menu
       in a Menu Bar

DESCRIPTION
       GNOME Search Tool is a utility for finding files	 on  your  system.  To
       perform	a basic search, you can type a filename or a partial filename,
       with or without wildcards. To refine your search, you can  apply	 addi‐
       tional search options.

       GNOME  Search  Tool  uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The
       case sensitivity of the search depends on your  operating  system.  For
       example,	 on  Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i
       option, so all searches are case-insensitive.

       For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help.
