This looks a lot easier than most search gui's. Good work & yes keep it simple for the end user.
One thing I would change is the "searchpath" it is by default "/root/" I suggest change it to "/"
Great work and a simple config file that can be extended very nice !!

Heaven is on the way, until then let's get the truth out!

Sigmund, speaking on behalf of the idiot masses (or speaking for myself as a massive idiot) I liked it
Simple layout
clear indication and results
I would get rid of the OK confirmation to search and launch straight into search with a dialogue button saying you are searching, if possible
I would change search path default to /
and I would change 'code' to 'commands'
I also rather like the ability to have the config file as editable
You have a very important facility here and I hope to see it in 2.14 or 2.15 of Puppy
One more request...
I hate to be a pain (well, I don't really ) but I was wondering if it is possible to be able to start a search by hitting the 'Enter/Return' key rather than having to use the mouse to click on the 'Search' button. Seems to make more sense to me as you are already using the keyboard to type in the search query.
Thanx for a great app; nice and simple.

you're absolutely right. - Pfind would have been better if seacrh could have been started with 'enter'. You can start search from keyboard by pushing 'tab' around 20 times, until searchbutton gets focus. Come on, that's easy ......If anyone has this knowledge about Gtkdialog, please let us know. There could be a workaround by rearranging the gui....
Please, be a pain, complain more, make it all better.

Pfind = Puppyfind
Gnome has G
KDE has K
Why shouldn't we have the P.
Everything would be short, easy and give a hint of what the program does:
Pripper, Ptorrent, Pnetwork, Pburn, Prename, Pconvert (soxgui), Pfind, Pbackup, Pbattery.....
I have nothing against Pfetch.
You're the englishman, and knows if it explains better what it does?????

Pfind
Dear Zigbert,
I consider Pfind a real gem, all the more because you can configure it to do what you want and the script is very transparent. I changed two instances of xmessage to gxmessage for reasons of optics, since xmessage simply looks ugly and out of place if you already have a well-groomed puppy. In any event, thanks for the outstanding work.
