For finding files within Windows, there's Everything[0], which is pretty fast and small (just one .EXE file).

I've used this, it is pretty fast comparing windows search. Any idea on how it differs from windows search?

I too miss GDS and its related offerings. Lately Windows built-in search has impressed me though.

I also had great hopes for nepomuk on KDE but I think that is discontinued now.

Nepomuk has been replaced with Baloo, which is very much alive, way more performant and integrates well.

Thanks! Always liked KDE so nice to read.
