MATESearchTool is a utility for finding files on your system. To perform a basic search, you can type a
       filename  or  a  partial  filename,  with  or  without  wildcards.  To  refine your search, you can apply
       additional search options.

       MATESearchTool uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX  commands.  The  case  sensitivity  of  the  search
       depends  on your operating system. For example, on Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the
       -i option, so all searches are case-insensitive.

       For full documentation see the MATESearchTool online help.
