Seems very nice indeed. For kicks, I created a file with some string in it

echo "abcdefgh" > junk

then right away

tracker-search abcdefgh

found it instantly. I don't even know when or how it indexed it. After 
the initial indexing, tracker it's unnoticeable. Beagle was reasonable 
when I was working on the computer, but would take up 100% of the 
processor after some 10-20 minutes of inactivity. So I uninstalled 
beagle. Tracker doesn't seem to do that. 

Too bad my nautilus is not tracker-enabled. I hope it will be in FC7 and 
I hope tracker will come standard.
