Comment 3 for bug 38986

I think it was a bad idea to remap “Search” on the Places menu with beagle-search.

Simply, how do we access the file finding tool now??

It's not about superiority -I like beagle- but they have entirely different use cases. Only insane people let beagle index / recursively considering that memory and cpu usage are immense. Also, beagle doesn't index all files; g-s-t can be forced to look inside of all files; g-s-t is nifty in that it collates the results of slocate and the find utility, which is much more powerful than beagle is. How do you search for files of more than 50 Mo, with the owner of xxx et cetera pp. Just look at the available criteria in g-s-t. The loss is amazing.

There are numerous ways to access beagle already. I know of beagle-search on the app-menu, deskbar-applet, F12 and the nautilus integrated search. Gnome-search-tool was lost entirely. I don't think beagle-search is adequate as the function that represents “Search” in the Places menu.
