Este manual describe a versión 1.10 do Busca de ficheiros.

## Comentarios

To report a bug or make a suggestion regarding the Search for Files application or this manual, follow the directions in the MATE Feedback Page.

## Introdución

The Search for Files application enables you to search for 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 additional search options.

Search for Files uses the `find`, `grep`, and `locate` UNIX commands. By default, when performing a basic search Search for Files first uses the `locate` command, and then uses the slower but more thorough `find` command.

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.

## Comezando

You can start Search for Files in the following ways:

From a Menu Bar on a panel

  Choose Places Search for Files...

From a Main Menu on a panel

  Choose Search for Files...

From a command line

  Execute the following command: `mate-search-tool`

When you start Search for Files, the following window is displayed.

### Search for Files Window

Shows Search for Files main window.

## Uso

### To Perform a Basic Search

To perform a basic search for a file on the system, perform the following steps:

1. Enter the search text in the Name contains field. The search text can be a filename or partial filename, with or without wildcards, as shown in the following table:

   Name Contains Text | Exemplo | Resultado
   --- | --- | ---
   Full or partial filename | `omeuficheiro.txt` | Search for Files searches for all files that contain the text `myfile.txt` in the filename.
   Partial filename combined with wildcards (*, [, ]) | `*.[ch]` | Search for Files searches for all files that have extension `.c` or `.h`.

2. In the Look in folder field, select the folder or device from which you want Search for Files to begin the search.

3. Click Find to perform the search.

Search for Files searches in the directory that you specify and the subdirectories of the directory. Search for Files displays the results of the search in the Search results list box. If Search for Files does not find any files that match the search criteria, the application displays the message "No files found" in the Search results list box.

By default, Search for Files will perform a quick search using the `locate` command followed by a more thorough second search using the `find` command. The `locate` command is faster because it uses a database of information about files. If this database is more than a week old, Search for Files could 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 `updatedb` as the root user.

### To Add Search Options

You can add additional options to search for a file on the system. To add search options, perform the following steps:

1. Click on the Select more options text.

2. Click on the Available options drop-down list.

3. Seleccione a opción de busca que quere aplicar.

4. Prema en Engadir.

5. Specify the required search information for the search option, as described in .

6. Repita os pasos anteriores para cada opción de busca que queira aplicar.

To remove a search option from the current search, click on the Remove button next to the option.

To disable the search options from the current search, click on the Select more options text.

Menú de aplicacións

  Choose System Tools dconf Editor.

Liña de ordes

  Execute the following command: `dconf-editor`

### Desactivar a busca rápida

Key name: org.mate.search-tool.disable-quick-search

Default value: false

Search for Files speeds up file name searches by using the `locate` command. `Locate` provides a secure way to index and quickly search for file names. Because `locate` relies on a file index, the Search results list may not always be up to date.

### Desactivar a segunda análise da busca rápida

Key name: org.mate.search-tool.disable-quick-search-second-scan

Default value: false

After completing a quick search, Search for Files will perform a thorough search using the `find` command. The purpose of this second scan is to find files that have not been indexed. Files that match the search criteria are added to the Search results list keeping the list up to date.

### Rutas excluídas da busca rápida

Key name: org.mate.search-tool.quick-search-excluded-paths

Default values: [/mnt/*,/media/*,/dev/*,/tmp/*,/proc/*,/var/*]

Search for Files will not perform a quick search for paths defined by this key. File name searches in the defined paths will use the `find` command. The wildcards '*' and '?' are supported.

### Rutas excluídas da segunda análise da busca rápida

Key name: org.mate.search-tool.quick-search-second-scan-excluded-paths

Default values: [/]

Search for Files will not perform a second scan after a quick search for the paths defined by this key. Quick searches in the defined paths will not be followed by a thorough search using the `find` command. The wildcards '*' and '?' are supported.

### Amosar as opcións adicionais

Key name: org.mate.search-tool.show-additional-options

Default value: false

This key determines if the Select more options section is expanded when Search for Files is started.
