Sure, but a GNOME user knows how to reach the place (which in GNOME3 is now centralized under System Settings), I only wanted to note that is less prone to errors than a string search (you know, translations are not always up to date in testing nor even in stable releases...). Indeed, I also expected the English term was also working for a non-English environment but it seems this was not the case. What I can't guess is why all this noise, some people here think I'm always competing for... what, exactly?

But what I'm saying is that you are saying nothing we don't already know. When the man said search for "lock," all intelligent people inferred that they should use the appropriate, equivalent search term for their locale.

It's "lock" (the English term) what returns zero results inside a Spanish localized environment (and guess it happens the same for others). Of course that using the translated term works, but that's not the problematic: the searched term has to be put in the user's language so it finds a match because is a "text dependant" feature.

I think "lock" isn't Spanish. Maybe try "bloquear" (but that's a verb infinitive, no?) Maybe "cerradura?" Let us know what works for your locale.
