<title>Introduction</title>
<p>
The <app>Search for Files</app> application lets you find files and folders on your computer. All searches are case-insensitive.
</p>
<note style="advanced">
<p>
<app>Search for Files</app> uses the <cmd>locate</cmd>, <cmd>find</cmd>, and <cmd>grep</cmd> commands. It first performs a quick search using the <cmd>locate</cmd>. Then it performs a second search using <cmd>find</cmd>. The <cmd>locate</cmd> command uses a database to locate files. If the database hasn't been updated in over a week, <app>Search for Files</app> may warn you that the search results may be out of date and give you the option of disabling the quick search. To update the database, run the command <cmd>updatedb</cmd> as root.
