Hello, Today desktop search tools are killer-apps, the hype about Beagle or Spotlight is really big. I think that Fedora needs a search tool to be competitive. As you might know Beagle uses a C# port of lucene (http://lucene.apache.org/). Lucene is a open source search engine written in java. It runs with gcj but was also ported to other languages like C++ or Python. There is allready a search tool based on lucene called regain (http://regain.sourceforge.net/). But I think it doesn't run with a free java implementation, also there is no live-indexing and no application integration, for example with evolution. It shouldn't be to hard to wright a tool based on lucene or a port of it. The hard things are live indexing (gamin??) and application integration. It would be great to see a desktop search tool in Fedora.
