New XFCE File Search Tool

Although catfish file search was existing. The big problem was it was written in python. Python was very bloated. I suggest forking the gnome-search-tool will fix this problem. The code was almost  the same as gnome-search-tool codebase however it uses xfconf instead of dconf. Also remove nautilus integration instead use thunar integration.

Re: New XFCE File Search Tool

MATE Search Tool is a good option. I think you can add this (XFCE) to the desktop file of MATE Search Tool to make it show up in Xfce:

OnlyShowIn=MATE;XFCE
