Thunar Script: Search for Files

In order to search for files in Thunar I found a nice little app by the name of catfish.

You can install this on your machine simply by typing:
"sudo apt-get install catfish"

Once it is installed, go into your Custom Actions menu under Thunar and add a new action called "Search for files"

Just add catfish --path=%F in the command line

Remember to select Apperance and Conditions in the tab window and select just the directories option. This will restrict this script from only working and showing itself when you right click on a directory. You can even give it an Icon so it is visually easy to see on the right click context menu. Now whenever you right click on a directory you will see a new menu key called "Search for files" - have fun.
