I see only one question (the one about memory hungry Beagle) at the OP post, and the answer is: It may be loading the whole index in memory, thus allowing faster searches. Unhappy, get more memory, or change software. Oh no, but he already concluded that all DSE for linux are bad. Strange, I used Google Desktop Search and fitted me well, maybe you just have a machine that's too slow, or haven't configured it right. Isn't CHM the default Windows help file extension? This is Linux.
As for the rest of the OP mail. Its a troll, has no question, no useful comments, no suggestions, neither a request for opinions, and he ends it like a pure troll, nonsense conclusions based on personal experience. But he must be laughing out loud that you both, felix and b.n. have completely lost it, going totally off topic and starting a private discussion that should take place between you both, and only you, and most of all, outside of this mailing list. Just to follow some of the replies, I also found no good substitute for old locate, find and grep. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
