So....you have a pic of your favourite grandson/bike/car/ or a file containing some important info......or you have seen a location somewhere on a website (and you wish to look at your pc's location)....ETC ETC
Enter ANGRYsearch

Quick Search GUI Tool for Linux
ANGRYsearch is a Python-based application that delivers results as you type your search query. The overall idea and design of the application are both inspired by Everything a search tool for Windows. (I discovered Everything ad couple of years ago and install it wherever I use Windows.)
Installing ANGRYsearch on Linux
ANGRYsearch is available in the Arch User Repository. It has also been packaged for Fedora and openSUSE.
To install on other distros, follow these instructions. Instructions are written for a Debian or Ubuntu based system.
etc...read the info at the LINK
(you can easily ignore any directories that you don't need included in your scan)
It is simple and easy as pie to follow.
If a hdd or ssd is mounted....it will include the contents of that drive in your search.......Mine initially included all my Timeshift snapshots which are on a separate hdd.....quite handy to establish what is there and what is not there perhaps ?....and MANY other uses, I am sure
This a brilliant search tool. It attracted my attention because I used to use the 'Everything' app (put up on windows. It was the best thing about windows.....ANGRYsearch is based on Everything.
Install it and use it....you won't regret it.
