huge log files in its directory under my home dir, which clogged my
filesystem. It took a while to find the culprit but afterwards it was
pretty fast to purge it from my system :-) . That incident, couple with
very little use I had for it, convinced me to drop it altogether.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Nobody mentioned the
long proven, useful and (very) lean on resources - Linux command line
tools like locate, grep, find, vi and probably a few good other
"dinosaurs" which I left out of the list. They do what I want today to
the point that I don't feel an urge to find such a tool as you
describe. Yes, the downside is considerable as well - they are hard to
use to the point that probably the new Linux user (=my mother, if she
would have ever considered using Linux...) will never use them. I just
mention these tools for the sake of the record :-) <br>

command line for the casual user (=my mother, if she had used Linux in
the first place :-)</p>

1. Which desktop search tool are you using under Linux?

Beagle. I dumped it once for the same reasons you described, but recently I
went for the hunt again, and found that beagle has the most index plugins,
and it indexes almost everything I have.

It's not as a hog as it was, it integrates nicely with KDE (kerry). I'm not
too impress with its search capabilities, but it does a fairly good job. On
occasion I am getting angry with it and closing it until I need it again.
