Beagle once created huge log files in its directory under my home dir,
which clogged my filesystem. It took a while to find the culprit but
afterwards it was pretty fast to purge it from my system :-) . That
incident, couple with very little use I had for it, convinced me to drop
it altogether.
Nobody mentioned the long proven, useful and (very) lean on resources -
Linux command line tools like locate, grep, find, vi and probably a few
good other "dinosaurs" which I left out of the list. They do what I want
today to the point that I don't feel an urge to find such a tool as you
describe. Yes, the downside is considerable as well - they are hard to
use to the point that probably the new Linux user (=my mother, if she
would have ever considered using Linux...) will never use them. I just
mention these tools for the sake of the record :-)
Boaz.
but yes - not trivial command line for the casual user (=my mother, if
she had used Linux in the first place :-)

So I am asking:
1. Which desktop search tool are you using under Linux?
Beagle. I dumped it once for the same reasons you described, but recently I
went for the hunt again, and found that beagle has the most index plugins,
and it indexes almost everything I have.
2. What are its good and bad points?
It's not as a hog as it was, it integrates nicely with KDE (kerry). I'm not
too impress with its search capabilities, but it does a fairly good job. On
occasion I am getting angry with it and closing it until I need it again.
3. How happy are you with it?
Pretty happy.
