NAME
     mate-search-tool - the MATE Search Tool

SYNOPSIS
     mate-search-tool [options]

     or  select Search for Files...  from a Main Menu or from the Places menu in
     a Menu Bar

DESCRIPTION
     MATE Search Tool is a utility for finding files on your system. To  perform
     a	basic  search,	you  can  type a filename or a partial filename, with or
     without wildcards. To refine your search, you can apply  additional  search
     options.

     MATE  Search  Tool  uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The case
     sensitivity of the search depends on your operating system. For example, on
     Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i	option,  so  all
     searches are case-insensitive.

     For full documentation see the MATE Search Tool online help.
