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. Doodle also supports using FAM to keep the database always up-to-date. This has been added to the search engine section of all the 2005 Internet MiniGuides.
