I think it was a bad idea to remap “Search” on the Places menu with 
beagle-search.

Simply, how do we access the file finding tool now??

It's not about superiority -I like beagle- but they have entirely different use 
cases. Only insane people let beagle index / recursively considering that 
memory and cpu usage are immense. Also, beagle doesn't index all files; g-s-t 
can be forced to look inside of all files; g-s-t is nifty in that it collates 
the results of slocate and the find utility, which is much more powerful than 
beagle is. How do you search for files of more than 50 Mo, with the owner of 
xxx et cetera pp. Just look at the available criteria in g-s-t. The loss is 
amazing.

There are numerous ways to access beagle already. I know of beagle-search on 
the app-menu, deskbar-applet, F12 and the nautilus integrated search. 
Gnome-search-tool was lost entirely. I don't think beagle-search is adequate as 
the function that represents “Search” in the Places menu.
