I have a folder with symbolic links to files in various places. I would like to be able to search in those files.

It works fine using:
Linux Mint 13 (maya), kernel Linux 3.2.0-23-generic
Geany: 0.21
Caja 1.2.1

The search in the folder with symbolic link files does not work using:

Linux Mint 14 (nadia), kernel Linux 3.5.0-17-generic

Geany 1.22

Caja 1.40

What can I do to make it work at my Linux 14 machine?

I am not a technical minded person, I can use the menu Search => Find in Files and enter a search term, I have no idea how to use grep or other nerdy things, thus I am looking for an non-geeky solution, thanks!

Kind regards
