Some time ago, I installed Beagle as my desktop search and information<br>
retrieval tool.<br>
Then I disabled it as I was not so happy with its computer use hogging<br>
combined with weakness in finding & retrieving information.<br>
<br>
Now, after upgrading my PC from Debian Etch to Debian Lenny, I would<br>
like to repeat the process of searching for a desktop search tool.<br>
<br>
The article which I used at the time, and which is available at:<br>
<a href="http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/desktop_search_tools_gnu_linux_tracker_recoll_strigi_deskbar" target="_blank">http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/desktop_search_tools_gnu_linux_tracker_recoll_strigi_deskbar</a><br>
is from almost two years ago.<br>
<br>
So I would like to ask the community for recommendations for today's<br>
state of the art desktop search tools. The Debian repositories have<br>
bewildering array of packages, which might be suitable.<br>
<br>
So I am asking:<br>
1. Which desktop search tool are you using under Linux?<br>
2. What are its good and bad points?<br>
3. How happy are you with it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
