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. 

> 3. How happy are you with it?

Pretty happy.
