I just had this moment of deep nostalgia.
Remember Beagle? The "Spotlight for linux" desktop search engine? Remember when you owned data and needed to search through it? And you could do that, with format awareness, without asking google and getting back fifteen "tutorial" SEO spam networks?
I've realized that I kinda want local search back. Sure the web is nice and sometimes useful, but... how much could I simply not with great local search where I can add things I care about?
