Hi,
it has often happened that I wanted to efficiently find files based on not
their name, but their metadata -- such as who owns them, or when they were
modified, or some combination thereof.
Of course, find(1) can do all that (albeit very slowly), but since updatedb
scans all directories anyway, it might as well record and index this
information as well, in addition to the filenames.
Perhaps, instead of inventing a new syntax, include a plocate-find that
supports the same syntax as find(1)?
Thanks!
András
