[gentoo-user] advice for a desktop search package?

[b.n.]

Hi,

I'd like to know, in your humble or less humble opinion, what's a good 
desktop search package for Gentoo. Preferibly I'd like KDE integration.
I am aware of the following:
- Beagle
- Strigi
- Kat

Are there others? What are pros/cons of these packages?

Sorry for the flamebait :),

m.

Kat is defunct. Beagle has a KDE front end, Kerry, but I found it a real
resource hog (Beagle, not Kerry) although using an encrypted home
directory doesn't help there. There is also recoll, in portage, I tried
it on my laptop but there wasn't enough space on my home dir for the
index :(

Will be tightly integrated with KDE4, and from what I've heard works fairly 
well with KDE3.
