I desperately need this. I've collected hundreds upon hundreds of technical papers and research reports and I can no longer find the ones I need at any given time with any reliability or ease.
Use "locate." It's a unix utility and ships with SUSE. It's INSTANTLY available. You build a db first as root using "updatedb" and from then on, it becomes a cron job. Beagle is nice, but locate being instant gives me info. "like now."
The two have nothing in common. Locate finds files by name. Beagle is content-directed search.
