File search engines, like catfish used to work lightning fast, but lately have been very slow.
I tried other file search progras like Corehunt, but they were unable to find files that catfish could find in miliseconds.
I read about FSearch on line at tried to install. This is what I got on the terminal.
I then thought updating apt-get would help but that failed, too.
Any assistance in deciphering this would be appreciated.
