[Lazarus] Best examples of cross platform visual file or folder search application?

[Anthony Walter]

Thank you for the replies. I think what I was getting at is not the code
related to such a program, but the user interface design and popularity of
such a program. I think most of you remember Microsoft implemented a file
search into XP featuring an animate dog and a small form:

But since Vista it's been replaced with a simplified edit box and many
search options are either hidden or harder to use. I've already written a
working cross platform search program (image of it below), but don't
understand why I can find this type of user interface design in any current
desktop OS or in the form of a tiny popular 3rd party program. Is it that
users don't want a file / folder search form, or that at some point an OS
dropped this kind of functionality and everyone else followed suite by
copying them and removing file / folder search forms? Do you people prefer
no file / folder search forms in your desktop OS?
