+Catfish is a frontend for different search engines (daemons). The interface
+is intentionally lightweight and simple, using only GTK+ 2. You can
+configure it to your needs by using several command line options.
+
+Supported backends:
+
+find, (s)locate, doodle, tracker, beagle, strigi and pinot
+
+Optional requirement: pyxdg
+
+pyxdg is optional but strongly recommended by the developer.
+
+NB: Catfish can be integrated into Thunar as a search option. A small howto
+can be found here:
