is there a command to call pcmanfm open and then open the file search box?

similar to something like

pcmanfm --search

that you could enter in a terminal or run command to bring up pcmanfm and initiate the file search dialog box?

thanks

Hi and welcome to the LXDE forum. I have just tried everything that I thought I knew to start PCManFM from the terminal without success. I am aware that if you start PCManFM and then either navigate to the tools tab you can find the search function under Find Files or by using Shift+Ctrl+F. That is the best I can do right now. I'll let you know if I find anything better.
