Oh, now, that was too nasty of you! :-D You made me log into Gnome3 just to be a witness of a Yet-Another-Great-Design-Decision by the Gnome3 devs... :-D But to my great disappointment, I actually managed to find the search utility: Activities (top-left corner) -> Applications (next to "Windows" just below the top menu bar) -> Accessories (in the vertical list on the far right) -> Search for Files (in the big list of the accessories, at the bottom of the screen --- you might need to scroll down the list). I didn't test it to see if it can recurse subdirectories, however. ;-) Oh, and don't be dismayed by the "search" field below the top menu bar in the top-right corner --- that's for searching the Google and Wikipedia, local apps, local places and favorite bookmarks. IOW, for everything *except* the files on your drive. Another ingenious masterpiece of The Great Design... ;-) How wonderful !! :-D HTH, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
