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?
