Comment 1 for bug 1249754

I suppose this bug is related to locate part of the scope. When you search for some common string, which can be found more than 128 times in your $HOME (including hidden folders - for example web browser cache could be a big source) and user accessible part of the root directory, you get nothing, if it's not already indexed by Zeitgeist. Reasonable solution could be to build per user databases which would contain only relevant data and use these instead of the global one.
