Please tell me which one(s) are best, or make a table of their strong and weak points. I can’t try 8 different apps, or even read about them all.

Does any of these tools search words inside text files? Like, say, if I have the word “home” inside some text document, does it search it and list the text document as a result if the word is included in it? At least Catfish, Recoll and FSearch are not doing it.

I think Krunner works perfectly well with my Arch + KDE, do let me know if something is even better than that Sir Okoi !

Good. I think cerebro is inspired on Firefox’s Ubiquity extension. But I haven’t found any information about that. Did you know Ubiquity?

Not at all. Cerebro still works and I’m sure a major update will come through sooner or later. There are over 100 pull requests.
