I never understood the need for this for a desktop system. Seems to me it
takes more time and resources to keep an index up to date than it does to
do a month worth of "find files" on my systems.

For a server or a web server I can see it being useful because it serves
multiple users but for a workstation I'd rather do a live search than keep
indexes.

There is actually more to my logic on this. I've been playing with
computers long enough to realize that the faster the cpu's get the more
stuff we find to keep them busy so that when we need to do something there
is still that same darn lag there was 10 years ago. What I want is a
machine that is 100% at my disposal, where I get all the cpu without having
to wait for it to swap a bunch of processes out of memory or manage a task
list to make room for my task.
