Go Fetch!
Filed in archive Utilities on December 21, 2006
AFAIK, Apple first introduced lightning fast desktop search in Mac OS X Spotlight. Being both a Mac and linux user, Spotlight is one of the tools that I use the most - to search for documents and more importantly, to launch applications without searching for its icon and/or name.
Linux comes with Beagle, a tool written on Mono that behaves like Spotlight.
A new tool was developed by ETRI, a South Korean R&D firm, and called "antbear". ZDNet Korea writes about the new Linux tool.
More tools competing against each other is good for consumers. Consumers will surely get choices and developers will always strive for better products. I just hope that antbear does away with Mono. :)

ETRI voice information center/ Knowledge mining research team leader Myung-Gil Jang who's in charge of the antbear project said, "Globally, current trend of search systems are framed using semantic desktop search (for sharing PC base personal knowledge using RDF schema: Resource Description Framework). ETRI's goal is in developing semantic desktop search system, which could come up as the most important technology in next generation of PC environment."
