I think its a great idea to have a "Find button" that would open up
catfish in that folder.
In fact I had no idea I could access catfish from Thunar until you
guys told me I could. Thanks for the tip!

Actually I've just wrote about HOW it is integrated.
To include search function in right-click menu is absolutely useful.
But an average user (means he/she has no knowledge of Xubuntu/Xfce, or
he/she comes from Windows or MacOS in my interpretation) usually don't
look for 'search' in the right-click menu but in the menu structure of
file manager or in the window of file manager (I mean look for an
input field for example).
I remember when I've logged in first time to Xubuntu, it was a bit
hard to find the search function, on the one hand because the
'Catfish' name is a bit misleading (tells nothing about its function),
on the other hand because I did not use right-click for search so far.
In addition - when I right click on a file/folder, I expect tipical
file management options in right-click menu, such as copy/move,
rename, delete, set properties etc. But as I've written above, it's OK
if search is accessible from here - but the right place for search is
the file menu of Thunar, I think.
"To open a standalone application to find a file - I think it is not
an elegant solution." - especially if we have to find it between lots
of applications in Xubuntu's main menu, furthermore its name is
misleading. But if we use a standalone application, it has to be named
clearly and has to be accessed from the most adequate place(s).
Just look at the solutions of 'big guns' - both of Windows and MacOS X
have an elegantly integrated file finder. We have to admit what is
good it's good.
I think there are more potential solutions to have an elegantly
integrated, easy to access search/find option - but the actual one is
not the best.

thunar's included custom action "Find in this folder" already has an
example of this in your right click menu... to see how its done go to
thunars "edit" menu, and click "Configure custom actions", and
edit the
custom action to view/edit the actions's command string
