Just wondering, what exactly is supported/suggested: I need a comprehensive desktop search functionality. Not only searching for file names but also for content and meta data. The environment is EL6.8 / Gnome2. I have noticed that "beagle" is not part of the distro anymore. Any suggestions for such requirement? Thanks! LF

Any suggestions for such requirement?If upgrading to EL7 is an option it has GNOME Tracker builtin. You get desktop search right after installation. It has a bug that files can be missing from search results sometimes (and can appear again in next search), but in general works well enough for me. Hope the upcoming EL7.3 can have fixes for that bug. -- Yan Li

Any suggestions for such requirement?Frankly, nothing beats Recoll. https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/ Unfortunately there are only packages for CentOS 7: http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/centos71/ I've installed Recoll on all my client's desktops (running Slackware 14.1 mostly), and they're very happy with it. cheers, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'?glise - 30730 Montpezat Web : http://www.microlinux.fr Mail : info at microlinux.fr T?l. : 04 66 63 10 32
