Re: why postgres?

SQLite would be really great.

Would it be possible to specify a list of directories to be indexed/monitored with the option to recurse through the directory structure and make it available for searches by other users.?

E.g.
I would have /home/bryan, and mark it recursive and hidden
As root I would add /usr/share/music (all my oggs etc., shared between users), and mark it as recursive and visible to all.

Other users do the same. The list of public search folders is stored in /etc/indexeddirs. Each person's private list is stored in ~/.indexeddirs. For each directory have a sqlite DB in the root of that directory called .dirindex.sqlite or something.

Then when someone does a a search, open and concatentate the private list (~/.indexeddirs) and the public list (/etc/indexeddirs), open all the directories, and search through each?

That might be a bit much though, I don't know the specifics of search. Is this being developed using Qt4 or KDE/Qt. It'd be cool if the backend was developed using Qt4, so it would be a nice small dependency that other projects could use.
