Is there a equivalent sofware to Everything search engine (Windows) on Ubuntu?

Question

IMO, Everything search engine is the best desktop search software on Windows and I wonder if there is an equivalent software on Ubuntu ?

Answer 1

You can try tracker-search . It is available in the software-center.

To install it, run the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install tracker-gui

After installing it, search for Desktop Search in the dash and open it. You can then search for the files and folders in the search bar.

Answer 2

In Ubuntu 11.10 Unity presents this search function as the 1st option on menu. Easy acess, very nice. Find aplications, files, everything very fast. I recommend. =D
