Catfish 1.2.2 released, A versatile file searching utility for Linux that uses different backends like locate

Catfish is an open source, free and handy graphical application designed in GTK+ to provide GNU/Linux users with a capable file search utility that helps theme to locate their files on the local file system.

Supports locate, slocate and beagle search engines

It is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for different file searching backends, which are intractable, configurable only via the command-line interface. Catfish is known to support popular search engines, such as locate, slocate, tracker or beagle.

Its user interface is designed to be simple and lightweight, and the configuration options for each backend are taken directly from the command-line options of the respective search engine. It works well with all GNU/Linux operating systems.

Designed for GNOME

The application’s GUI is modern, as it follows GNOME’s HIG (Human Interface Guidelines) specifications. While it is designed for the GNOME desktop environment, Catfish can also be used on other open source desktop environments or window managers, such as MATE or Cinnamon.
