Within GWorkspace, one can search a file with the builtin tool : #f
and save it as Livesarch (lsf extension).
Where is also an app called MDFinder which is using mdss files.
What is the difference btween those tools ? Are they redundant or
complementary ?
they are complementary. MDFinder is MetaData Finder - it means it uses
meta-data extracted from a daemon searching your hard disk, much like
Spotlight or Windows Search.
Dependeing on your usage, you might like these daemons "sucking up"
resources but then having quick access... or prefer old style
non-indexed search.
