I used Beagle as my desktop search tool, and eventually removed it because I felt it does not do good job indexing my stuff (I have plenty of free disk space so I was not worried by its storage requirements).
However I still need some desktop search tool. The following article from 2007 http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/desktop_search_tools_gnu_linux_tracker_recoll_strigi_deskbar is part of a series about desktop search tools which were current at the time. What search tool would you recommend for use today? My tradeoffs: - Ability to retrieve all results of a search, rather than say the 100 most recent ones. - Plenty of hard disk space, so it need not be economized. - After initial indexing, the daemon (or whatever) for handling new material should not load the PC too much. --- Omer -- "Kosher" Cellphones (cellphones with blocked SMS, video and Internet) are menace to the deaf. They must be outlawed!
