I just thought it searched for individual filenames, not path substrings. In the case of mc, one thing is to look for "mc.ini" and another completely different to look for "ini", which would likely produce a lot of results. Also, I had just installed mc so I don´t think the locate database would have picked it up yet. And if I fired updatedb it´d have taken a while, so it was easier for me to ask the list. Also, asking the list is beneficial to someone else if the question-and-answer is later indexed by Gurgle, to be later found by someone else in the same situation as me. As you can see I made a lot of considerations before deciding to ask here. :) FC -- 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?
