Does anyone use a good indexer on Linux? I removed mlocate from my system because it always eats up CPU cycles when I least want it to. Also, the index is always out of date. And it doesn't index the contents of e.g. PDF files.

Recoll is useful, though kind of arcane to use...but it has the upshot of indexing even PDFs
