BSD Spotlight similar to Mac Spotlight

[adam_ar]

Hi all,

I am new to FreeBSD and Gnome. But I have worked on Macbook Pro. I like the Spotlight feature in Mac OS very much as it is very fast, efficient and accurate most of the times. Is there something similar in FreeBSD or Gnome 2?

I don't think so. There is strigi which is part of KDE which works similarly but I've always found it to be too resource consuming to be worth it.

Apologies.
I see there is Deskbar http://projects.gnome.org/deskbar-applet/ which is a gnome applet and uses strigi.

sysutils/tracker-gnome is probably the closest thing to Spotlight.
