MATE search tool cannot find text files with known content
by blue-whale from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57JEC)
I run Debian buster with the Mate desktop - recently upgraded from stretch. If I launch mate-search-tool from the panel, I get the message "No files found". I experimented with launching from the command line - obtained via mate-terminal. Here are the results:
Code:~$ mate-search-tool NONE found
~$ whereis mate-search-tool
mate-search-tool: /usr/bin/mate-search-tool
~$ /usr/bin/mate-search-tool NONE found
~$ cd /usr/bin
/usr/bin$ mate-search-tool NONE found
/usr/bin$ sudo mate-search-tool
[sudo] password for geoff: **** FOUND as expectedI wonder if other users of debian mate mate-search-tool have had this experience? The manual for mate-search-tool just repeats what is on the GUI, and dconf has little to add. There are no relevant mate-search-tool related configuration files in my ~$/.config directory.
I am hoping that someone knows of a config file that may need tuning?
