computer. Any ideas?
Beagle and Tracker come to mind. Beagle seems to work a bit smoother
for me, but it is based on Mono, if that's a concern for you.
Tracker is written in C and is more lightweight, but very often appears
to grind my CPU and HD for no good reason. I think I remember that this
is a known bug.
Then there is Strigi, if you're using KDE. I've never even looked at
it, so I can't comment.
