I've tried Kat and Beagle, and had lots of issues with each. Kat's interface was icky at best, and the results display was missing crucial information (like what folder a matched file was in).
Beagle was better done but seemed ill-suited to professional use. It is a nifty way to check my IM logs, but with so few entries per page it's fairly useless to me for most purposes. And the hash isn't well done or something, because it takes a while to get my results, much longer than I feel it should. I also had a problem with some kinds of imports, I think. Although integration with a FireFox extension is an amazing idea...
So I've started working on my own GUI (needs to be, though I like CLI) frontend that'll grab results from search++, which is an excellent tool that properly indexes DOC files and returns results instantly. And if I'm really feeling overzealous, I'll update the indexer to work with INOTIFY like beagle does, too.
Any other ideas, though?
