Is there any alternative of popular windows desktop search "Search Everything (by Voidtools)" for linux. "Everything" is the only reason I have to stay with windows and not able to switch to linux as primary OS. I am looking for the alternative for quite sometime. I guess, someone who has already used "Everything" on windows, can only understand what I am looking for. Any help is appreciated.
Take a look at Recoll.
Recoll finds keywords inside documents as well as file names. It can search most document formats. It can reach any storage place: files, archive members, email attachments, transparently handling decompression. One click will open the document inside a native editor or display an even quicker text preview. The software is free, open source, and licensed under the GPL.
I don't really know what is your use case.
To have a index of all file names and search for them use
updatedb & locate
to find manually things in files use ( only as example ):
grep <search-string> -R *
find . -type f -exec grep <search-string> {} \;
Indexing source code:
ctags & etags
More information about text indexing:
Command-line fulltext indexing?
Hope this helps

Does anyone know of an linux based script/program which will run continuously on the server and monitor a folder (with sub folders preferably) image files and optimise them, ala smash.it pngout, jpegtrans etc. Preferably all those tools.
I know there are lot of linux apps which will call upon these tools but I want one that will monitor a folder containing our website images and optimise new images (ignoring the images its already optimised previously) - on first run it should do everything, but after that it should know what its already processed.
Does such a tool exist?
if you can use a hook into inotify, use that. for example, let incron monitor specific directories, to which files are added or modified. if so, incron passes control to a program of your choice. convert, from imagemagick, can be useful for reducing image filesizes.
incron can pass name of altered/added files to your command or script, allowing it to work specifically on mutations, by using these variables as parameters to your commands:
$# watched filesystem path
$# event-related file name
$% event flags (textually)
$& event flags (numerically)

Currently we are using Lucene for our search engine, but we want to look at some alternatives. I have looked at several on the net but seems like a lot of them are out of date or the development stopped. That is why I want to ask if you guys know any good open-source alternatives to Lucene that are still in development?
Kind regards,
Merlijn
Try Sphinx search http://sphinxsearch.com/. It is used by many NLP researchers.
If you are looking for an open source and Java based alternative, then you could try Terreir. Note that Terrier targets academia.
If the language is not an issue, then you could look at Xapian. I found its community quite active, and it has participated in Google Summer of Code several times.
Otherwise, you could try Whoosh, a python based search library.
FastcatSearch is also open source and java based alternative.
Lucene is a IR library as already you know, Solr is a search server, and FastcatSearch is a counterpart of Solr.
It provides web-based manager, so that you can set up configs easily.

How can I search for a code snippet in all folders/files of a site?
I can't find the line of code I'm looking for. It's a large site and looking through file by file is not reasonable. How can I go about finding this snippet?
Other details:
It's a Drupal site
I use a Mac
Code editing software I currently have avail: Coda, Text Wrangler, Dreamweaver
Any help would be incredibly appreciated.
Just use grep - take a closer look at this tool here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-finding-files-by-content/
FYI: it is a command-line tool.
Also consider that Drupal may be storing something within the database, even the PHP code (which happens when you have PHP filter enabled for some contents and put PHP inline). Thus you may not find the specific code snippet within the code of the application and then you will probably need to look into the database.
While grep via a terminal will work wonderfully for OSX and *nix users, those on Windows may find that grep isn't available.
For Windows users who want a solution to this, you can try the following:
1) Using cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com), which can be installed with grep
or
2) Grabbing a copy of grepWin (http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/grepWin.html); a grep tool with a frontend UI.

I am looking for an equivalent software to Dreamweaver in Linux.
It is not an exact match but it is based out of Eclipse which means super cross platform funky java love.
http://www.aptana.com/
Aptana Studio is actually what I replaced Dreamweaver with since Adobe bought Macromedia, I use it on Windows and Linux without trouble. But for the suggestion you will also get my 2 cents about Wysiwtf... it is almost never what you get. Some of the best code I have ever done in my life was done in SciTE (also available in Linux), it supports multiple coding languages and offers enough features to be useful without becoming bloated.
If you want something reasonably non-technical, then perhaps Kompozer?
Or, if you want more technical stuff, then you probably want Aptana.
Another mention bluefish.
Depending on what desktop environment you use I can recommend Quanta+ to you. It's part of the KDE SC but can also be used in other DEs.
You could also use KompoZer, it seems to be nice as well. Didn't test this one though.
I've also researched this for myself, and the answer is that, in my opinion, there is nothing comparable.
Most people choose Dreamweaver for its WYSIWYG (as good as it can be with HTML), and the ease of use. If you're looking for database connectivity, PHP debugging and the like, then Elipse beats Dreamweaver by a lot, but chance is the original poster is looking for the ease-of-use, so neither Bluefish nor Eclipse is going to satisfy him.

I am collecting logs from several custom made applications. Each application has it's own log format. What I'm looking for is a central tool which would allow me to search through all of my logs. This means the tool would have to be able to define a different regex (or alike) for each log file (marking where a record begins, ends, and what are the fields). I've been trying Splunk, but I'm not happy with it, since performance are slow, I'm limited (free version) with the amount of indexed data per-day, and it's not as flexible as I want it to be.
Could you recommend a software (preferably free or cheap) for the task?
You can try Lucene. It is free. It is written in Java, and it allows full-text search over large amount of data. It is not a complete application, but rather a library, so you have to write code that uses it to index and to search your logs. You may have to define different document types or at least different indexing functions for your logs, but then search works beautifully.
If you can use Windows, try out Microsoft's best tool ever, Logparser. I wish there was such a simple tool for Unix. But there isn't. And although I've kept wanting to get around to making a Unix version of Logparser, I just haven't had the time.
Note: This would be a great project for someone with time on their hands or for a grad-student somewhere!

Never used it, but have heard of it.
