Description
A file search tool using different backends which is configurable via the command line.

This program acts as a frontend for different file search engines. The interface is intentionally lightweight and simple. But it takes configuration options from the command line.

Currently find, (s)locate, tracker, strigi, pinot, and beagle are supported as backends.
