Personally, I find the find plugin of emelFM2 http://emelfm2.net very nice
and attractive.
just a different tool. nothing breakthrough about dse's.
breakthrough is web2.0. dse has it's place (or users). but for people

It's like locate, except it indexes the contents of files (rather
than just the names)
I have used glimpse for indexing my email archive. It works pretty well,
but requires indexing runs and also the index files are quite large. Good,
though.
And for a bonus, it comes with agrep, if I recall correctly, a fantastic
almost grep tool for somewhat fuzzy searches.

Desktop search engines is this centuries wheel invention.
It's simply put a major breakthrough in how we work with our desktop.
Now the wheel didn't start out all that nice
As far as I'm concerned the structure of directories and links (hard or

engines.

1.
There's another advantage to a desktop search engine: it can know
about different file formats. Suppose you want to find everything
which references New York City. If you want to use traditional find
+ grep + locate, you will have to throw file in the mix plus
specialized grep to deal with pdfs,
deskbar-applet serves me fine. :)
