Disabling Quick Searches
By default, Search for Files tries to speed up some searches by using the locate command.
locate provides a secure way to index and quickly search for files. Because locate relies on a
file index, the Search Results list might not be up to date. To disable quick searches, run the
following command in a terminal window:
# gconftool-2 --type=bool --set /apps/gnome-search-tool/
disable_quick_search 1

1.9 Moving Text between Applications

To copy text between applications, select the text, then move the mouse cursor to the position where
you want the text copied. Click the center button on the mouse or the scroll wheel to copy the text.
When copying information between programs, you must keep the source program open and paste
the text before closing it. When a program closes, any content from that application that is on the
clipboard is lost.

1.10 Exploring the Internet

The GNOME Desktop includes Firefox, a Mozilla*-based Web browser. You can start it by clicking
Computer > Firefox.
You can type an address into the location bar at the top or click links in a page to move to different
pages, just like in any other Web browser.
For more information, see Chapter 12, "Browsing with Firefox," on page 189.
