I have often noticed updatedb using large amounts of CPU on its daily scan. I would not want it using large amounts of battery every day.

Or use mlocate (https://fedorahosted.org/mlocate/) instead.

Hi to all,
i'm sorry for my "very simple" question but, how is it possible to use locate on my N900?
i have installed the package but it's not present the command "locate" or "updatedb".
What i have to do ?

For anyone wanting to actually be able to use updatedb from the locate package, there's a tiny problem with the updatedb script.
You'll need to edit /usr/bin/gnu/updatedb
Line 208 ----> : ${find:=${BINDIR}/find}
Change this to ----> : ${find:=${BINDIR}/gfind}
Once done, gupdatedb and glocate will work as expected.
Hope this helps someone : )

Why would you install updatedb/slocate? You would have two tools that do the same thing. Tracker already indexes all the files. "tracker-files -s Files | grep -i string" locates what you want (I don't know why tracker-search does not work though).
