As an owner of a small computer shop for years, I have NEVER had a customer who actually used these Desktop search tools. When I ask them if they use it and then explain what it is and how it can slow down their computer, they want it gone.
I had a customer who worked for a lawyer who had over 1GB of word files she had transcribed. She didn't need the search, the lawyer did, and then he didn't use it. So, where's the benefit? For the average user? Not the developer.
Ask Apple users. It has been a major selling point for Mac OS for years.
Next time you explain it to one of your customers, try this: it will run in the background the first time you start up, for a few minutes, depending on how many files you have. After this you won't even notice it's there
this sounds just like a pre-election promise. When the opposite has been proven true time after time after time, and when the attempt to shove it down everyone's throat continues, one is bound to assume there are other reasons for such a promotion. Just who really needs this indexing thing? and why does it keep getting all these different names, is that an effort to sort of hide it from a novice user? why is there an indexer dependency issue for someone who only has 50 or 100 addresses in their addressbook? Isn't that real bloat and humongous abuse of cpu cycles? are we to start conspiracy theories now? d.
and you'll be able to search all your files by content in an instant
