How is desktop search? Spotlight (mac desktop search) is a killer feature for me -- fast, reliable, smooth, all straight out of the box. Meanwhile, I've wasted many hours trying to get desktop search up to the same standard on Windows and Linux. That was years ago (for linux, at least), hopefully things have improved. How is linux desktop search doing today?


KDE's search is very, very fast and at least on the latest KDE, just works.


Works pretty well on Plasma Desktop. I use it all the time to find files via KRunner.
