I just installed https://launchpad.net/~smd-seandavis/+archive/catfish-experimental/+files/catfish_0.5.0-public21_all.deb under Quantal.

I ran a search on "File System" for a non-existent file, and it no longer returns "Fatal error."

It looks like you have heavily retooled the program: removed reliance on native commands locate/find, using the locate package and zeitgeist instead, also adding Full-Text Search (would fill a current hole in Lubuntu's default functionality).

Though this is experimental, a few unsolicited observations: 1) One currently has to initiate a search by hitting the Enter key (no mouse button). 2) After running the search above, I opened the search location dialog again, and then simply Canceled. It left "Other..." as the search location, and when I clicked that, I didn't see any obvious way to select another location. Eventually I figured out that I had to hover/click on the up-arrow bar at the top of the dialog to see the full range of choices. 3) The zeitgeist package description makes it sound like spyware. But this may be more of a marketing issue than a real concern.
