About:
Doodle is a tool that searches your hard drive for files using pattern
matching on meta-data. It extracts meta-data using libextractor and
builds a suffix tree to index the files. The index can then be searched
rapidly. It is similar to locate, but can take advantage of information
such as ID3 tags.
Changes:
This release changes the database format, resulting in up to 20% savings in
database size and up to 25% savings in search time, under certain
circumstances. A new tool called doodled was added. doodled is a daemon
that sits in the background, watches for changes to files, and updates the
database immediately. This eliminates the possibility of stale data and the
need for periodic re-indexing.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
