Search4Files, recently rechristianed Catfish, is a frontend to many CLI-based search tools including find, locate, trackerd, and beagled. I use it in conjunction with tracker all the time. This is the program that kalikiana was writing, Cody.
Search4Files has very nice integration with Thunar, and I like it and use it all the time. Highly recommended. If you want to use tracker as backend, it is a lot like Beagle, but lighter and faster. Beagle itself has some gnome depends, but tracker has less. Search4Files has none. -CelloFellow On 1/10/07, daniele favara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The main issue of such tools is the time needed to "index" files. xapian is very fast but it more a "google like" tool. Pinot could be a good candidate but xubuntu devels had to intercat more with the pinot devel a while ago before getting an usable tool in particular as desktop search tool. tracker is the best around and the fastest too in my opinion, trackerfs is very interesting too .. in particular used as xfce-panel plugin my 2c -- ---- http://dsslive.org ---- -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
