[OpenIndiana-discuss] How to index all files on a oi system

[Matt Connolly]

Perhaps you might be interested in installing the "locate" command from gnu
findutils:

http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/

It's installed by default on Mac OSX systems, and is really handy. There's
probably some very good security reasons that it's not installed by default
on OpenIndiana.
