This is cool. There is a new Gnome project called Beagle.
It is supposed to be an experimental tool for indexing and searching data. It is coded
in C# and uses Lucene.Net. Lucene is
a very popular indexer and search tool for Java. It will be interesting to see how
this evolves.
It is also related to Dashboard project.
Dashboard is a tool that shows you data and files based on the context you are working
on. This is something like Implicit Query from Microsoft Research demoed at COMDEX
Las Vegas 2003 during Bill Gates' keynote.
