Description arlo 2001-09-10 01:13:17 UTC 
This was shown multiple times during user testing.

Users gravitated to the Gnome "foot" menu in search of a find application.  
I suspect this is because Windows has a search application in the Start 
menu, and Apple has Sherlock in the Apple menu (pre Mac OS X).

I propose that we add a menu item that invokes a nautilus search.

Rebecca also suggested that we build a new app that puts searching into 
its own interface.
