Recommendations for desktop search tool under Linux

[Omer Zak]

Some time ago, I installed Beagle as my desktop search and information
retrieval tool.
Then I disabled it as I was not so happy with its computer use hogging
combined with weakness in finding & retrieving information.

Now, after upgrading my PC from Debian Etch to Debian Lenny, I would
like to repeat the process of searching for a desktop search tool.

The article which I used at the time, and which is available at:
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/desktop_search_tools_gnu_linux_tracker_recoll_strigi_deskbar
is from almost two years ago.

So I would like to ask the community for recommendations for today's
state of the art desktop search tools.  The Debian repositories have
bewildering array of packages, which might be suitable.

So I am asking:
1. Which desktop search tool are you using under Linux?
2. What are its good and bad points?
3. How happy are you with it?

                                   Thanks,
                                        --- Omer
