Purpose
SGSearch is a frontend to the find and grep commands allowing respectively to search for file names or file content. It is meant to be a companion to file managers like Thunar (extension is provided) and works over GVFS.

Usage
GUI interface
- Select root lookup folder and enter file name (wildcards allowed) and some words (if searching for file content), then press search button.
- Double-click on a file to open it with its default application, or right-click to get more options.
From the command line
SGSearch can be parameterized from the command line, allowing integration with Thunar or XFCE WhiskerMenu plugin for example.
Root lookup folder setup:
sh sgsearch /path/to/lookup/folderSearch initialisation (auto-start):
sh sgsearch [/path/to/lookup/folder] *name*parts* sgsearch [/path/to/lookup/folder] "/some content" sgsearch [/path/to/lookup/folder] *name*parts* "/some content"
