Desktop search engines is this centuries wheel invention. It's simply put a major breakthrough in how we work with our desktop. Now the wheel didn't start out all that nice either and so will Desktop Search Engines evolve with time, but the thread starter is just ignorant if he expects DSE systems to come with a free lunch and 3 beers, this advance in technology is costly in computer power. I use Google Desktop Search and trackerd and for what they can do it works well, the technology is young, so there is limitations and a lot of technology needs updating to support it. Like NFS with extended attributes, client/server technology as indexing your remote files is a resource hog, but even then we are at the point where the technology is useful. Beagle does seem a bit broken with Gentoo at the moment, I had to give up on using it a little while ago.
