Recommendations for desktop search tool under Linux

[Nitzan Brumer]

1.I am using google desktop search : http://n2b.org/archives/699
2. Good: I use it to search my mail also, works fast and easy.
    Bad: relay on he browser, I don't know about privacy - can google use my
desktop data?
3. Very happy, I like it.
