desktop searching: HOWTO?

[Alain Muls]

Hi

I tried google-desktop, beagle, tracker to perform search on my local 
hard disk the way it does on my son's iMAC. But all in vain.

None of these search engines was able to index my latex files, pdf files 
and thunderbird mails. How can I tune one of them so that these items 
get indexed?

I use kubuntu GG, though I think this should not make a difference.

Tx/Alain
