I wonder how indexing in Vista and/or Macintosh will compare. Will people find high CPU usage?
Mac OS X's counterpart is called Spotlight and signified by a white-on-blue stylized looking-glass (Sherlock Holmes-style) icon and has a permanent menu at the right-most end of the menu bar. It's activated by CMD+SPACE (sound familiar?). Spotlight's indexer is pretty efficient, since it uses FAM (or the equivalent) to index each file only once, when it's created (or again when changed). I only notice it when a new drive is attached, but that's mostly only because I've got various monitoring doo-dads going that make me aware of almost any system activity. I also have configured it to ignore certain parts of my file system.
