I'm in the same boat with Ubuntu. Tracker - or an equivalent - *used* to be set up. I'd say about 2-3 years ago, desktop search on my machine was comparable to Windows or Mac OS Spotlight: hit the hotkey, start typing, and files containing your search term would appear. Now, at best I get files with the search term *in the filename only*. This is NBG. I have lots of files, and I'm a fairly messy person. A big heap of files with searchable contents *should* be indexed, and not by me. cheers, Stewart --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
