See if you can find a config that controls it: it may have been
defaulted to off, as it can be an expensive operation for someone who
never uses it.
Setting the default to off is exactly what a UX designer might do.

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
