HI,
Is the a search command or tool that will do what Windows "search for file and folders" will do?

this was helpful, however i couldnt find the file i was looking for...... i had created it with TED and have like 4 pages of stuff written, saved it, (in the default Dir) and then shutdown, where did it go?........ (i have DSL on my harddrive)

if it's a frugal install and if you didn't enable backup, then you can say goodbye to your four pages. Sorry. The "default" directory is most likely /home/dsl, which exists in ram in a typical live CD or frugal system. Everything in that directory reverts to its original state on reboot unless you set a partition on which to backup your files, or use a persistent home.

If you have a debian style harddrive install, then i don't know what might have happened to your files.
