My goal was to search all document files, (text, Open Office, doc, rtf, pdf, etc.) for a specific string.
I hoped to have a utility that had the files indexed, and could deal with a wide variety of file types.
I could use a combination of find and grep. These do not use an index, and only work with files with text data.
Mageia has Catfish. It has an index via the "locate" utility. But it seems to only work with files with text data.
Beagle, and Baloo are not on Mageia. What alternatives would you reccommend?
