Ubuntu :: Desktop Search Dead \ Trying To Find A Good Desktop Search Tool?
Jun 16, 2011I'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
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Use Multiple Words / Terms (boolean AND) With Gnome Search Tool
May 27, 2010I 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...
OpenSUSE :: Nautilus Search Tool Doesn't Appear With 11.4?

View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Command Line Search Tool
Apr 10, 2011This 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Desktop Search Tool For CentOS 5.6?
Jun 12, 2011I 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?
Slackware :: Powerful Indexed Search Tool
Jun 9, 2011I 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

Apr 5, 2011i guess this is an installation issue as i am newish to Linux and got a F14 laptop from a used/refurb store... Anyway it seem i have difficulty with getting GTK running or maybe it is WGET...?
i did manage to install apt-get and was able to run synaptics ... but now whenever i try to run synaptics it flashes the interface and crashes. i tried apt-get search wget and it says invalid operation search. i tried apt cache wget and get a crash box in the upper right corner... i tried apt-get gtk+extra-2.1.2-4.fc14 and it says invalid operation gtk...
All of which is frustrating my attempts to get the GTK interface to J working. Their script uses WGET which i also cannot get.

Ubuntu :: Desktop Search For KDE 4?
May 31, 2010I'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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: ISO File Search App?
Jun 15, 2011For some reason Ubuntu's built-in file search app doesn't find the file I'm looking for sometimes. My 10.10 build has been running excellently for some time now and haven't experienced any problems but this is a wierd one. If I use another app like Catfish it usually finds the sought file, but sometimes it gives a fatal error and stops working. Others have had this problem with Catfish, too, so I'm looking for another reliable file or folder search app. I've went thru what I could find in the Software Center but haven't found anything really good. I need an app that'll search for hidden files or folders on the whole PC

For instance, running find . | grep terms.htmlgives my expected result while locate terms.html doesn't even though locate gets updated db - it might have to do with that it's an USB stick the file is on?
