RE: [Dev-C++] Longhorn

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

With more horse-power, we don't need a database file-system. Smarter file
systems should only be needed for allowing more to be done with same or
less computing power.

Right now we need third-party tools to scan directories and files and
build separate search indices. These concepts work. All we need - and may
already have with file-system plugins - is filters that hooks all updates
to keep the indices updated instead of having to rebuild them every night.
