I did not like the standard locate on my system
Too slow
Manufacturing the database was too CPU-intensive
Too inflexible
Idea: why build a special database of filenames?
Just build a big text file with a list of filenames
Then use grep to search it
This was a tremendous success. I love it.
"Underengineering"?
