Hmm, maybe you should try my deskypplet? it is not a filemanager per se, but it is a try to make a simple graphical desktopenviroment wich already has some external scripts for filemanaging. So a new search menuitem, would be easy to implement with your "find" command in a shellscript. Except that there arent any way implemented to get results back from a script, but if the script makes a new bookmarksfile then it would work. Or if the script creates a new tempdir with softlinks to the found files, and then opens it either with a filemanager from the script, or if you prefer to have a bookmark to that directory within deskypplet. If you want to try, then i could add some instructions and upload the necessary files to the deskypplet thread. -or maybe even start with my development again
