Hi,
Can anyone advise how to search for files in Ubuntu? I've booted into it but it seems searching for strings like *.jpg doesn't work.
Thanks

Now it works!?! Odd. Always the way. I think it simply found no documents previously as I was probably narrowing down the search location.gaming_guy wrote: »The search feature under Places > search for files worked fine when i searched for *.mp3 & *.jpg on my system.0
