Launch Gnome Search Tool in the current (or the selected) directory

Gnome includes a utility called "Gnome Search Tool". It's available in recent Ubuntu versions both in the Accessories and in the Places menu with the name "Search for Files". The attached Nautilus Action launches this tool in the current (or the selected) directory with a few preset options. These options are:
  • --hidden: selects the "Show hidden and backup files" search option
  • --mounts: selects the "Exclude other filesystems" search option
  • --contains="": selects the "Contains the text" search option
