'''KFind''' can be used as a standalone file search tool, launched by '''[[Special:myLanguage/KRunner|KRunner]]''' or from your menu. It is also integrated into '''[[Special:myLanguage/Konqueror|Konqueror]]''' and '''[[Special:myLanguage/Dolphin|Dolphin]]''' as <menuchoice>Find File</menuchoice> in the <menuchoice>Tools</menuchoice> menu. Being equipped with a graphical user interface, it is often handier than the command line tool named find which requires advanced skills in instruction syntax formulation.‎

Edit

A search is configured in a 3-tab window.‎

Edit

The <menuchoice>Name/Location</menuchoice> tab * Specify a file name ** use wildcards * and ? in the name * Specify a starting directory * Decide whether you want to also search sub-directories * Specify whether the search should be case-sensitive * Specify whether hidden files to be shown as well‎

Edit

The <menuchoice>Contents</menuchoice> tab * Select the file type to be search * Specify the search term ** it can be useful to have '*' set in the file name field in the Name/Location tab * Select case sensitivity * Should binary files be searched?‎

Edit

{{Note|A <menuchoice>Contents</menuchoice> search is necessarily much slower than a filename search, so be as specific as you can when defining it.}}‎

Edit

The <menuchoice>Properties</menuchoice> tab * Find files by creation date * Limit the criteria by age - e.g. "during the previous 2 hours" * Find files by size - e.g. "At Least 2 MB" * Limit the result to files owned by a specific user or group‎

Edit

All criteria set will be honoured in your search - you are not limited to the specifications in one tab, so you could search for any file in the directory /home or any directory below that, containing the word "Silkstone" which must be capitalized, and is owned by the group "Accounts".‎
