Since you asked, "no." How many people do you want to answer? There's a lot of people on the list.
There are at least a couple of searching tools that I've heard of for Linux, beyond Google, and I use none of them. I'm rather reticent to use something that might be linked to an external search engine. I'd like to hear someone detail what the Google thing does and how before even considering it.

I don't want background indexing at all (I just do a recursive fulltext search when I need it, which more often than not is on source code I just unpacked anyway, so indexing wouldn't help), but if I wanted it, I'd use Strigi, which is Free Software.

It appears to be just like the Windows version, except for the "cross-Desktop" data sharing feature, or whatever it's called. Maybe that'll come later.
