Software :: Desktop Search Tool For CentOS 5.6?
Jun 12, 2011
I am looking for a tool to index the files on my PC to allow full text search. I use recoll on Ubuntu and it does a great job. As I described in a previous post there does not seem to be an rpm package available for recoll on CentOS and I have not been able to build from source.So I tried beagle. In a nutshell the old version of beagle available for CentOS 5.6 does not do a good job of indexing pdf files. The newest version, tried on Linux Mint, does not do much better. And the beagle web site seems to be gone so I am not sure if it is an active product.
I have done some searching and most of what I find appear to be tools for indexing a web server. That is a bit of an overkill for my needs. I simply want to be able to search old email archives, OpenOffice documents, text and pdf files stored and accessed locally on the PC?

I'm trying to find a good desktop search tool. Beagle is dead, Recoll and Strigi are KDE, and Tracker is not many features (can't even search Thunderbird 3). Do I miss something? Is desktop search on Linux dead? Should I use Google Desktop Search instead

Like with OS 11.3 I used Yast software manager to install "nautilus-search-tool" extension to put "search for files" on the context menu of folders. But nothing works, extension doesn't appear on context menu. Is it a bug to be resolved or is there any special issue about?

This is a bit of a long shot and I think the answer will be no but I thought I'd ask just in case. I have a number of tutorials in html but I want to be able to search for particular information in these files and display that information in the terminal rather than having to go through a browser. Apart from using grep which gives a pretty messy display or having to write a a specially Bash or python script, is there any command line tools that can provide such a function?

I am familiar with slackware's slocate.What slocate doesn't have is an option to limit returned results from specific users or groups.What's more I can't seem to find a gui/web frontend so that people without knowledge of cli can benefit from the slocate's indexed search.So I turn to you all, is there another tool, that supports per user/group searching and a web (preferably) frontend?(clarification) i think slocate returns results related to the user running the search (files that he owns as well as files that are owned by his primary and other groups). Is that correct? I basically want a search user (who will be a member of the several groups that our office is structured like) to get results by giving as search criteria not only the filename, but also the owner of the file and / or the group

I just installed Beagle and I have it indexing (by launching the indexer and checking its status via the terminal) but I can't figure out how to launch the actual searching GUI. I did some research online and found that this is done by clicking on the "search" icon under Applications > Accessories but there is not icon entitled Beagle nor search there? How do I access it?

I just want to search file names, not their content.
Using gnome-search-tool, if I search for "word1 word3" I can't find "word1 word2 word3.txt" but I do find it (and too many others) if I just search for "word1"
I would have thought a boolean AND search would just be automatic, but I guess not. I've already come across searchmonkey, but I'm not smart enough to figure out how to set it up to do this - i.e. I don't want to have to use regular expressions or be typing "*" all over the place.
P.S. I do use google desktop search, but I hate using it as the results are way too narrow to be of any use and haven't been able to figure out how to widen it.
P.P.S. I also found this: In terminal type gconf-editor and find gnome-search-tool in the Apps. Then look for the field quick_search_second_scan_excluded_paths and change the slash to nothing, i.e. delete the "/".
It worked for my ubuntu 10.04 pc, but not this one (ubuntu 9.1) - so I thought maybe there's another way...

In general CentOS search automatically after startup for available software updates.Then after some (~20-30) minutes an icon appears in the toolbar which the user can click and install the updates.How can I manually speed up/trigger IMMEDIATELY the search for updates (without waiting for the built-in search)?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with KDE 4.
I want a desktop search program for KDE 4 like GNOME has beagle and tracker.
I know about Nepomuk but it seems too slow and resource heavy.
When I used to use KDE 3 I used a desktop search program called Kerry (a KDE frontend to Beagle) but I don't think has a KDE 4 version.
good desktop search program for KDE 4.

Have you added a better search tool to your Ubuntu installation? What is it? I'm looking for better search capability than Ubuntu's default included tool.

F13 just installed for me on a server back in the states for me. I VNC into it to setup my personal website. The GNOME menu listings do not have the tool I am familiar with that tells me which process are running, allows me to stop and start them, and to install them I believe if they are on the machine. I can see that MYSQL are on the machine with the Add/Remove tool. I also see myphpAdmin. I need to get both of these up and running. I should be able to do this with out going back to 1980's terminal commands right?

I am trying to search a tool for testing multicast. Currently, 'yum search multicast' yields nothing. I saw mcsender and mctest in google but they seem not to be supported in CentOS. Do you know any tool that can test multicast?

Often after using the network tool, making changes, saving changes, closing the tool, and running a 'service network restart'; the tool will not open again unless I reboot. This is the case both via System --> Administration --> Network and system-config-network (from the command line). I am in runlevel 5, as an uprivileged user when this happens.

I am running CentOS 5.6 on my servers (auto-updating to the latest patches). A couple of days ago, a number of updates were applied:
glibc-common-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64
glibc-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64
nscd-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.5-58.el5_6.4.x86_64
[Code]...
This update broke a software tool from Xilinx (FPGA compiler). I rolled back all of the above, to 2.5-58.el5_6.3, and the tool works OK. I get:
/home/cad/xilinx/ISE13.1/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/unwrapped/map: symbol lookup error: /home/cad/xilinx/ISE13.1/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64/libXst2_Core.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost7archive6detail17basic_oserializerD2Evmake[2]: *** [map] Error 127

I have an issue with the DHCP clients in a lab environment I am building. The lab is in a dns subdomain but the clients should be able to resolve any machine in the lab subdomain or the parent by using just the hostname. According to everything I have read, the client resolver should do this automagically, trying first the naked hostname, then the FQDN, then walking up the tree of parent domains. But it doesn't.
So I thought I'd just have the dhcp server set the domain search list to include both the local and parent domain. But adding "option domain-search" to dhcpd.conf causes dhcpd to fail on start up. Does the current version of dhcpd in CentOS 5.3 really not support this option?

I noticed that every, say, 5 times I boot CentOS 5.4, a find search is initiated that takes several hours.
For example:
find . -name rd=rmdir -print
I'm not sure if it's related, but, I do have a "alias rd=rmdir" in my .aliases. Would changing it to "alias rd=/bin/rmdir" avoid this problem? I'm using zsh. Is this search necessary?
