My grievancies with KAT, A Desktop Searching Environment for KDE

Yeah! I am also the one who faces problems with Kat! Kat is a desktop seaching environment for KDE users in the mandriva 2006 distribution. It was similar to Google desktop search as in windows environment. Its main intention is to index and retrieve the files (almost all kinds of files it is indexing). Though it was invented for good use, its bringing addtional problems like hanging the system for a longer time. I was about to install mandriva ( previously it is Mandrake) in my Professor's system, and he uses K Desktop. I was not aware of kat while i am installing, though, after i installed the mandrake, i got into lot of problems. Its about to index all the files when ever we accessed, modified, or even deleted, so its consuming much of the cpu time. To get the system into normal working i uninstalled this great feature, after i consulting some of the open source professionals on kat mailing list. But there must be some customization features like do the indexing only after some specified idle time, or like google desktop search (though i also will eat up our cpu time, and the latest version is opening doors to the hackers), etc. But i think whenever the indexing process is doing, it will take much of the time. So i hope developers will make it fine and i hope kat will gain good focus as like google desktop search.
