No, doens't make sense.
Only need one just like I only need one browser - firefox - regardless of whether I use KDE, LXDE, E17.
Whichever I use it starts "Indexer_X" .
maybe if SWSBO logs in she uses "Indexer_Y" but it only starts if _she_ logs in. Since its _her_ indexer of choice.
But don't need it as a global/root service common to all like Postfix.
It does, if you have several simultaneous users, as running an indexer affects all adversely. Then, no desktop has got it right yet. They have to analyze many different file types, do it right, and have several teams attempting and failing at the same things over and over. Like the KDE people designing a module to analyze PDFs, then the Gnome people designing a module to analyze PDFs. Then we have the KDE designing a module to analyze OO calc sheets, and then we have the KDE designing a module to analyze OO calc sheets all over again. Then email, then... And not all the interesting files are on home, or of interest to a single user. Then, people like me, using several desktops with the same user, get double index engines. Have competing teams, variety, choice? Sure. As long as I can choose any of the possible search engines with any desktop. Not having a search engine tied to each desktop. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
