[opensuse] nepomuk not indexing certain files - is there a better indexing program?
Using OpenSUSE 12.1 and KDE 4.7 on a 32bit system. I haven't tested this on my other machines that run 64bit with KDE 4.8. I just noticed that on this computer, which has been fully indexed by nepomuk and strigi, it does not return any odt file extensions, even if I am searching in the same directory and I can see the file that I am searching right there in front of me. Apparently there are some bugs in nepomuk/strigi similar to this that other folks have experienced on other platforms, as I noticed on bug reports. Certainly as they improve nepomuk and strigi I am sure that these will be great indexing platforms. So my question is, does anyone out there use a different indexing program? If so, what have you experienced with it? I am intersted in people's opinions here. Indexing files and their contents for rapid search is certainly very helpful for the work I am trying to do.

I think it would be a pity to throw the baby out with the bathwater immediately because this doesn't work for you right now. It would be better to report a bug and get to the bottom of it. Since "*.odt" search in Dolphin works for me with 4.7 and 4.8 machines, it's quite possible that you've run into a bug that has not yet been fixed, and would be worth solving in case others run into it. We've also put a lot of time and resources into improving Nepomuk's performance in 4.8, so the overhead of indexing is less, as well as making it easier to disable for those who just want a desktop without frills. Could you open a bug and we can follow this up there?

An excellent point, and I am happy to report that I only have that problem on my 32 bit machine with KDE 4.7. I just tested it on my 64 bit machine running KDE 4.8, and the problem is no longer there, it finds odt files just fine. I filed a bug report - Bug 298414 Thanks for your help! :) George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
