Program auto-search in Ubuntu Linux

Asked By abbigailantonia 60 points N/A Posted on - 02/11/2015

I have been using Windows 7 for quite some time but I have since switched to Linux, precisely Ubuntu 14. There is a huge difference between the two and although they both function perfectly, there are a couple of things that I need to know. While in windows, I could search easily for the software installed by using the everything.exe tool. I want to do the same in Linux but I cannot. Please help
