Nepomuk is sorta, although it is included with a KDE install. It'll eat 
your cpu until it's done cataloging everything on your machine for 
hours, to make it easy to hand over all evidence to the FBI.

I dumped KDE when I tried to remove nepomuk with synaptic. It popped up 
and said it would have to remove all traces of KDE and it's desktop. I 
replied "Hell yeah.." and savagely hit the ENTER key with a sneer ...I 
haven't used KDE since. I won't have my desktop bound to something I 
happen to loathe and I'll have nothing to do with a mindset that goes 
"My Way Or The Highway" with me. T

here is no earthly reason to have a desktop search rule my preferred 
install. It should be an added option for the user and nothing more than 
that.

There are maybe ten people on Earth, and a semi-sentient frozen gas on 
the surface of Titan, that uses Nepomuk. The gas is considered a 
criminal by his/her/its kind and is in hiding, his/her/its real 
whereabouts are unknown. But, he/she/it is all over the Internet, 
posting as the user "anonymous". :) Ric
