4. Searching for Files

You may already know KDE's web browser: Konqueror. But did you know that it is also a powerful file manager, that it can help you find files on your disk?

  1. Choose Internet+Web BrowsersKonqueror from the main menu to launch Konqueror.

  2. Click the Home button in the navigation toolbar to go to your personal folder or to search on your hard disk (instead of surfing on the Internet).

  3. Choose ToolsFind File from the menu to open the search dialog.

  4. Enter the name of the file you are looking for. You can use an asterisk (*) to mean “anything” or an question mark (?) to mean “any single character”.
