Can you provide some info on where this is located? It sounds 'new' to

K-menu->System Settings-> Desktop Search


This is a kde feature then, not in gnome?

As a matter of interest, what is lost if one does this (as I have).
Presumably running strigi indexing must have some benefit?

Beagle was used in the past. Currently it uses Tracker. Before the
release of 3.0, Tracker could still negatively impacted performance.
This was fixed before 3.0 (you can tell the kernel to give a low/idle
priority for a processes IO, etc).

That makes sense - the newer KDE one may be similar as I didn't
"notice" any performance problem, but habit made me kill it quickly ...
may be worth re-investigating .. thanks for followup.

I've looked at these,
and while the idea behind nepomuk ("semantic desktop")
seems quite interesting, there doesn't seem to be anything
that would help me in my perhaps simple-minded use of Fedora/KDE.
And there do seem a number of problems associated with nepomuk/strigi.

Do you have a concrete application you have used nepomuk/strigi for?
