Comment 2 for bug 646724

I'll go with your judgement about not wanting to monitor, though Tracker and similar have done this for a while (perhaps with penalties that are unknown to me?).

Is there any appropriateness in a static indexing service (like 'locate') launched at regular intervals?

Not easy to resolve I know, but its the usability for someone like my mum who need know nothing of zeitgeist & friends that I have in mind.
