Instant search utility


Recommended Posts

So I switched to Linux and it's great, but on windows I used a program called Ava Find. This program indexed all my files and when I wanted to search for something it started displaying the results even as I was typing in my search query. So I really liked it b/c I could find files really easily; unfortunately, it is windows only. Does anybody know if there is an equivalent program that runs in Linux (fedora core specifically)?

That program was really superb, thanks for letting us know...

updatedb is normally scheduled to run periodically by cron. If it isn't scheduled, or if you added the file since after the last run, you will need to execute it manually like kemical said.

Once it has been run, you can locate as many files as you want.
