it finds files you have used not all files, as explained to me that is
all that is scope at the moment. If finds the standard folders as well
as those added/changed. Not a perfect solution but as designed, I have
to say it does find about 80% of what I am looking for without going to
filemanager so still very useful.

Too late in the cycle to hope to get a design change so we can put our 2
cents worth in for 11.10.
