Welll......Don't forget about "locate" if you have that installed. That shouldn't take very long though unless you have a ton of data. In contrast to beagle, I HIGHLY endorse locate.
Again and again again with this:
- Locate _only_ knows file names.
I know.
- Beagle indexes file _contents_.
Which is normally well-indicated by file name and location within the directory tree.
Locate is in _no way_ a replacement or substitute for Beagle.
On the other hand, resources consumed by locate tend to be quite minimal -- updatedb runs extremely quickly with no noticeable impact on system responsiveness. The value/cost proposition for locate is favorable, because it's simple and debugged.
They serve different purposes.
