Recolling Beagle

Filed in archive Utilities on April 24, 2007

I have featured Beagle, a Mono-based tool that offers a fast desktop search engine a few months ago. I followed it up with Splunk, a desktop search engine that scans your entire network.

Today, I found another desktop search engine named Recoll. Whilst it is not as feature-rich as Splunk, it is, however, a worthy alternative to beagle. Frankly, I'd prefer Recoll over Beagle if only for the technology that it doesn't use, i.e., Mono, a .Net implementation. [Anything BUT Microsoft for me! hehe]

I wonder if someone already did a benchmark of the two utilities. Care to be the first one?
