Pinot
Pinot is a D-Bus service that crawls, indexes and
monitors your documents.
The software has a GTK-based user interface that
enables to query the index built by the service or your
favourite Web engine, and display and analyze the
results. It is also supplied with other console based
tools.
D-Bus activation makes sure the service is running whenever
one of its methods is invoked by any consumer application.
