[NTLUG:Discuss] Dolphin's Find Everywhere

[Christopher Cox]

I can only offer a guess.  Traversing every file across all filesystems isn't as
easy as it used to be.  There are lots of files that will simply cause things to
lock up (waiting infinitely on a file that will never let go).

So... maybe that's what is happening with "everywhere"?

The problem (if this is a problem) has gotten a lot worse over the past 5 years
or so.

Seems like when I do backup scripts I always keep having to add more and more
and more exceptions to the list.
