Why do we need desktop search engines at all? Seriously, what happened to own intelligence and creating a folder-structure in which we find our stuff?
The only reason you ask this question is because you don't understand the difference between file search and content search. Or maybe you don't have that much to search. I use content search to maintain source code for several large systems. When I need to make a change to a data structure Content search will tell me the name of every module it is used in, and it will do so in less than a second. Without having to read through the entire mountain of source code. The same for email and a boat load of documents, (orders and shipping records some saved as PDFs others as word processor documents, still others as text. Again the search is instant, because every word is already indexed. The more you have the better it works. Its like Google for your desktop, but faster. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
