You       want to search on the root of the word as "testtest"       to be assured of finding it.              You can also use the find command from the command line.               find / -name "*testtest*" -print              or even               sudo updatedb        locate testtest              If your Trash has been set to directly-delete, then       there is no need for storage :-) And the Nemo search       will "fail", because no "mv" was used at all, and       instead the software used "rm".              Make sure that you are actually configured to use       Trash in the "buffered way", for there to be a       folder sitting there for you.               Paul              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
