Is there a graphical interface to the Unix 'find' command? Not
that I really need it -- I know how to use 'find' rather well --
but it seems like it could be really helpful.
To make a graphical 'find' that competes with the Windows one, it
would have to incorporate grep; Windows-find allows one to search
for text within files. But if one could combine these tools, it
might reveal to people just how much richer a tool Unix-find is
than Windows-find.
So: any idea whether this exists?

in domestic and foreign policy are starting to puzzle clever
economists. These, after all, are people who by temperament and
training will bend over backwards till their spines snap before
saying the words, `Yeah, I guess you'd have to say that was
pretty irrational.'''
