Kerry is a search tool based on Beagle, which periodically indexes your computer's content (running in the background) in order to help you find your files more quickly.
Choose + → from the main menu to open Kerry. To search for a file, simply type the filename in the Search field. Specify where you want Kerry to look for that file, using the dropdown list (or leave Everything), and click on . All files matching your search criteria are listed and a preview of them is displayed.
Once the results are shown, the following options are available:
Right click on this icon to view or clear the
search history and also to configure Kerry.
You may already know KDE's web browser: Konqueror. But did you know it is also a powerful file manager, that it can help you find files on your disk?
Click the Home button in the navigation toolbar, to go to your personal folder, to perform the search on your hard disk, instead of the Internet.
Enter the name of the file you are looking for. You can use
an asterisk (*
) to mean
“anything” or an question mark
(?
) to mean “any single
character”.
Click on the button to launch the search. Results are displayed at the bottom of the search window.
