`The real answer to the question of why “search4files” is on the mint livecd is that some Debian or Ubuntu or Mint developer in the mid 2000s put it on there to manage another GUI application. And it was forgotten about and left on years after it ceased its usefulness. And that Mint, or Ubuntu which mint is based off of is a massive pile of enterprise software with cruft and out of date parts`
