I remember Beagle was supposed to be used for precisely this requirement. Although I never got used to it, I thought it might be interesting to people who are of the 'serach rather than organize' mindset (I'm not). Think of it as GUI based content-sensitive, updatedb+locate. In any case, there's a list of desktop search tools here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines#Desktop_search_engines If so inclined, you could possibly also hack something up with `find`+`file` and store it in an sqlite db.
