Ah, yes if I had a lot of source code on my computer then the indexing
service might be extremely handy, I regularly use grep on AIX to find
source files that contain a certain string.

While we are on the subject of source code, is there any particular advice
you can give me on how to organize c++ project files so it's easy to locate
stuff? I'm about to completely redo my laptop (moving to an 80g drive
requires a complete reformat/reinstall) and so I've got the opportunity now
to restructure things so it makes more sense.
