when i clic in the search ,
i can search gest by some subject----that works fine for me
but above it, existe an option called advanced search, when i go to it i try to search by user,
and i get no result --- so why it happens

and one finnal question,
in te terminal i have observed one thing:: when i clic in the upward arrow i see the previously typed commands, and i think that all the previously typed commands are saved somewhere in some file.
but where is that file ??

i think that all the previously typed commands are saved somewhere in some file.
but where is that file ??

They are in the file

/home/<your-name>/.bash_history

where <your-name> stands for your username. This file has the shorter name "~/.bash_history", where "~" stands for

/home/<your-name>

which saves poor typists like me lots of time.

The 'history' of commands typed in the console are stored in ~/.bash_history. If you want to learn more, open a console and type man bash

thanks a lot for you answer.
but i have one more question: for example, looking in the folder /home/<your-name>/ i tried to find by the eye that file and i wasnt seeing it, and i tried then to find it by the searcher of the dolphin, when i firstly tried i writted gest : bash, and the there were no result but when i writted all the name ::: .bash_history it have been found. so why the search tool is so sensitive

Linux is very specific with regards to file/directory naming, including case (upper and lower). As to 'seeing' the .bash_history file, as well as any other 'dotted' files ('dotted' means the file begings with a period ( . )), while in a console, just type:

ls -all

It seems that you do not have a basic grasp/understanding of the basic commands used in console. You may benefit greatly by obtaining a good book on the subject. One that I have is "Learning the bash Shell" Second Edition, published by O'Reilly.

When you use Dolphin for searching files you must work with asterisks. When you write *bash, you will find all files which name ends with bash, when you write bash* you will find all files which name begins with *, when you write *bash*, you will find .bash_history. Default * finds all files. The same alghoritm used old windows command line.
The tool where you don't need to work with asterisks is for example Krusader. But it's so simple to use asterisks when you learn it, that it is not necessary to switch to another file manager for that reason.
