If I am in a particular directory path, I want to search for all files in any folder/sub-folder.
How can I do this?

In a terminal:
To list all files in the current directory and all sub-directories:
$ find .To search for a file by name in the current directory and all sub-directories:
$ find . -name <file_name>Or to search in all files in the current directory and all sub-directories for a particular string:
$ grep -R "<string>" *If you want GUI search with subdirectories, use gnome-search-tool . You can find it in the Ubuntu Software Center (12.04 - precise penguin) or you can install it directly in terminal:
sudo apt-get install gnome-search-tool
