According to my opinion, ==> which may be wrong <==, do not use anything
that has to do with Mono, C#, or any other MS technology. They tend to
be a mess.


If the default "Search For Files" engine in GNOME does not meet your
requirements, you may try installing GNOME Meta Tracker:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracker_%28desktop_search_software%29

http://projects.gnome.org/tracker


in Ubuntu Software Center/Synaptic.



Other Desktop Search Engines mentioned in Wikipedia are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Desktop

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strigi



Personally I am going to have a look at GNOME Meta Tracker (tracker-gui
package).
