How to configure Catfish desktop search tool?

Catfish is my preferred desktop search tool. But by default it uses "find" and searches in the "catfish" directory. I want it to use "locate" and search in "home".

How do I change that? I already searched for a configuration file but didn't find any.

Catfish is a GTK+ search utility written in python. It's search is powered by find and locate, with search suggestions provided by zeitgeist.

locate is now the default search engine in Catfish 0.4.0.2 version.

You can also just easily change the default directory where Catfish will search by clicking on the "look-in" drop-down box.
