Locate Database - Is it worth generating?
I was playing around on the terminal using some Unix commands. When I tried "Locate" the system replied
WARNING: The locate database (/var/db/locate.database) does not exist.
To create the database, run the following command:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist
Please be aware that the database can take some time to generate; once
the database has been created, this message will no longer appear.
I have been using OSX for years and have never had occasion to use the Locate. Am I missing something useful?
