Is it me, or does Linux Mint have terrible file search? (reddthat.com)

I search for files, and it never seems to find them. Plus it only does one drive at a time, and not just searches my external drives. Any suggestions?

ncdu

that's fine if wanting a tui, like for its intended purpose, rather than something grepable/awkable/sortable/cutable/headable/tailable/etc. like better suited to file search
