KFind/da

Find filer ved navn, type eller indhold

KFind kan bruges som et selvstændigt program, som kan startes med KRunner eller fra din startmenu. Den er også integreret i Konqueror og Dolphin i menuen Værktøjer -> Find fil.

Søgninger kan konfigureres i søgevinduets tre faneblade.

I fanebladet Navn/Sted kan du

• Angive et filnavn
  • bruge jokertegnene * og ? i navnet
• Angive den mappe, hvor søgningen skal starte
• Angive, om du ønsker at søge i undermapper
• Angive, om søgningen skal skelne mellem store og små bogstaver

The Contents 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?

Note

A "Contents" search is necessarily much slower than a filename search, so be as specific as you can when defining it.

The Properties 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

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".
