Thanks guys. Alot more of my Openoffice work is now showing up and is searchable.

Regarding #11, I agree that an occasional bot that snoops through the data will still be necessary as a catch-all.

For the record, what are the 'negative user effects of updatedb and friends'?

Two use cases:

1) you can currently select to filter by folders, and then do a search (on folders). Currently the search will not find many of the folders that exist because zeitgeist has never seen them.

2) Inevitably people will run commands without dataloggers (e.g. command line tool, un-packing an archive) which will create legitimate files. The result of these need to searchable within a reasonable period of time.

Keep up the good work
