I concur.  I tried it out the other day, and while it found some things,
it didn't find others that it should have.  Yes, I did give it long
enough to do its databasing.  

As well as that, it flatly refused to find anything that was through a
symlink to a NFS mount, even though it was specifically configured into
the watch list.  I didn't find anything in the documentation that said
there was such limits.

I give it a 1/10.  Any search engine that doesn't find the files it's
asked to, is worse than useless.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
