I'm in the same boat with Ubuntu. Tracker - or an equivalent
- *used* to<br>
be set up. I'd say about 2-3 years ago, desktop search on my
machine was<br>
comparable to Windows or Mac OS Spotlight: hit the hotkey,
start typing,<br>
and files containing your search term would appear. Now, at
best I get<br>
files with the search term *in the filename only*.<br>
<br>
This is NBG. I have lots of files, and I'm a fairly messy
person. A big<br>
heap of files with searchable contents *should* be indexed,
and not by me.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
