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:
