I can speak only for myself, but I can't imagine how Aaron Seigo (who gave
the recent KDE4 Keynote speech) could possibly think that strigi is
remotely useful in its current form.

Drop it and use Kerry/beagle, that's my advice.

Desktop search seems to be one of those blind spots where there have been
several attempts to get it to work well on Linux, but none of them has come
even close to what's available on Windows, and none of them has really
worked as well as one would like. No doubt it will be licked at some point
in the next couple of years (and it could well be strigi that emerges as
the best application) but it seems to be taking surprisingly long to get it
right.
