Very good search tool, using on Xfce. Having one feature request: it would be great if all files found can be selected all and then do copy/cut/paste.

Excellent, extremely useful search application. Tiny flaw: blank icon for this program on Ubuntu's favorites launcher. The following terminal command made the icon appear correctly: sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/searchmonkey.png /usr/share/pixmaps/searchmonkey/searchmonkey-32x32.png
