Hello,
I wonder if anyone could tell me how to search for files with keywords when using thunar file manager?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Thunar doesn't offer a built in file search. The only thing like that is if you start typing the filename it'll find it in the current directory.
There are GUi file search tools, depending on what' you're looking for one may be better than the other. Like if you searching filenames, or contents of files, or want advanced search options like date and stuff. There are also other file managers that may have built in search that suits your needs. And of course there's command line tools like find and grep that can be useful. Lots of options..... but nothing built into thunar itself.

Install a program called Catfish that is a quick and easy way to search for files on the desktop :)

Hello,
I removed thunar from my computer, and, after trying to reinstall it, I got this message:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
thunar-data-bl : Conflicts: thunar-data
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
Does anyone know what I need to do to reinstall it?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Snafus, Bodhi uses a patched version of thunar, installing thunar-bl should work
