I think locate can't look for things like " -- "; Also, it's too generic. It is safer to use alphanumeric characters. For example, if you prefer something shorter, you can do: (setq filetags-delimiter-between-filename-and-tags " @@ ") That should be found by locate. Regarding the updatedb issue, it seems that in Ubuntu you have to do it manually. You would have to edit the crontab file.
