Having checked out beagle and quite liked it, I seet here ae also
various graphical file-finding tools outthere, e.g. the gnome "search
for files" program, that allow content searches (e.g., "contains the
text"-type searhcing).  In many cases similar effects can be achieved
using find andor grep, but when searching for an mp3 or for text in an
openoffice document this strikes me as inefficient.  Does anyone know
of a command-line tool that can deploy backends like pdf2text & other
such readers to search for text or tags in a directory hierarchy?  And
if not, do you think that's because such a tool simply isn't
necessary, and I should just learn to limit my grep/find searches a
little more efficiently?

Thanks much,

Matt
