I am using Jessie with MATE desktop.
I search for a string within a filename OR folder name.
I must distinguish between files, folders and links to either.
"Applications->Accessories->Search for files" will DISPLAY the data.
*HOWEVER* attempting to record the data yields obfuscated data:

> ITEM NOTE

Any suggestions?
