Once upon a time, the findutils-locate package provided very similar services. It was dropped because it used too many resources. Then, quite a while later, beagle came, used ten times the resources and everybody either had to be happy or silent. Beagle will happily index gigabytes of my data *while I'm working on battery*. And there is no way to stop it from doing that except mucking with cron or uninstalling beagle.
findutils-locate was never dropped, i still use it next to beagle. I gues you never realy used beagle because of the way you compare it with locate. It realy isn't the same thing. Can you use locate to find a persons name in a email or in a chat log? I think not. If you don't want beagle, don't use it, remove it and use findutils-locate wich is still part of the SUSE package.
