When even Jekyll can't hide

Screenshot: evidence file-manager with searches
Evidence now supports lightning-fast searches using libdoodle -- which in turn uses libextractor to gather all kinds of meta-data from all kinds of file.
This means that you can't just search for file-names, but for metadata as well. For instance, you'll still find that misnamed MP3 if the data in the ID3 tag are correct.

To use it, install libdoodle and libextractor. Create a database like so:
doodle -b -d ~/.evidence/evidoodle -l libextractor_filename /
Now you're set! In evidence you can now type things like
%my fancy keyword
Now, a new virtual folder /Searches will appear that contains a sub-directory my fancy keyword that holds your search-results (if any).

This is an experimental feature; it's under construction.
Expect the unexpected.
