[Linux-disciples] Graphical interface to 'find'?

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?

  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.'''
