Searching for Data

KDE provides more than one application for finding data
on your computer or in the file system. With Kerry, you can
easily search your personal information space (usually your
home folder), which is indexed by Beagle®. KFind is another
option.
Using Kerry
Use Kerry to find documents, e-mails, Web history, IM/ITC
conversations, source code, images, music files, applications,
and much more:
1. Press Alt + F2 and enter kerry to open the Kerry Bea-
gle Search dialog.
2. Enter the search string in Search. Enter words or
phrases and modify your search options as described
in the tips displayed in the search window.
3. Click an entry in the column on the right to select the
scope of the search. The selected entry is highlighted.
4. Click the Enter icon to start the search. The results are
displayed in the window. Use the links contained in
each result to open the result directly or show its loca-
tion in the file system with the file manager.
Using KFind
To perform basic and advanced searches, use KFind. Start
it from the main menu by clicking Find Files/Folders or press
Alt + F2 and enter kfind.
Searching by Name
To use a filename (or a part of it) as the search keyword,
proceed as follows:
1. Enter the filename or a part of the filename in the
Named input field. Use wild cards, such as an asterisk
(*), to indicate missing characters in the filename.
2. Specify the folder in which to search for the file. Either
enter a path to the folder in Look in or click Browse to
locate the folder.
3. To search subfolders, check Include Subfolders.
4. Click Find to start the search. The results are displayed
in the lower part of the dialog. To directly open the
result, just click it. Right-click it to choose one of the
options from the context menu.
Searching by Contents or Properties
For a more detailed search, you can also specify further
options, such as a text the file must contain or the creation
or modification date of a file.
1. On the Name/Location tab, specify at least the path to
search for the file. You can leave the Named empty.
2. To search for certain contents in a file, click the Con-
tents tab. In Containing Text, enter the word or phrase
the file to find must contain. This option does not work
for all types of files.
3. To search for properties such as creation or modifica-
tion date of the file, click the Properties tab and choose
the options you want.
4. Click Find to start the search.

Creating a CD or DVD

If you have a CD or DVD writer, you can burn files to a CD
