Tracker: tool to tame your Beagle
Filed in archive Utilities by Rom Feria on November 10, 2007
Full desktop search is very helpful. I use Mac OS X's Spotlight as a search tool and an application launcher. However, Tracker seems to have more features, such as:
- Supports both free text search (like Beagle/Google) as well as structured searches using RDF Query.
- Responds in real time to filesystem
changes, automaticaly keeping its metadata database up to date.
- Extracts file contents as plain text and indexes them.
- Can provide thumbnailing on the fly if a thumbnail does not currently exist.
- Uses multilingual word stemmers to help find more relevant results. For example a search for motorbikes (plural) will also return results relevant to motorbike (singular).
Now what are you waiting for? Go fetch^H^H^H^H^H get the tool. :D
