In FC1-3, and RH releases before that, "Search for Files" off the Main Menu (which has been moved to Places, I suppose sensibly) made "Find in Folder" a field I could change, and often did, to just / ; but in FC4 I get only a choice between accepting only Home, or narrowing it to something below that, or "other" -- which still limits me to Home.
Unless I'm missing something really basic, this is absolutely wrong-headed, and smacks of MS's nannyism. What I *usually* need with this app is to find some config file which I have to become root to edit -- and maybe even to read ; but if I wanted to start running through slocate, whereis, and who knows what all else against a root prompt, I'd do that.
Please correct my basic miscomprehension, if it is one; or tell me how, if there's a way I don't see; or change it back! Pretty please. With sugar on it.
