Looking for linux search tool

Hi, i'm looking for a tool that is basically like "locate" except something that is always monitoring the file system for changes, so it's always up to date.

There is a program called "everything" for windows, found at Everything Search Engine It does exactly this, a search tool that runs off a database instead of actually searching the filesystem everytime, and is always up to date because it monitors changes.

Anyone know of something for linux?

As far as I know, Beagle has the functionality you're looking for.

I don't know of anything like that but it's easy enough to get up to date info when doing a search. From the command line:

Code:

---

updatedb

---

Then:

Code:

---

locate what_you_want_to_find

---

rlocate might do what you want:
