    DocFetcher vs Gnome Do Comments

    "Gnome do" is program launcher whereas "DocFetcher" is in-document content search tool. The difference between the two is enough to make a fair-minded person consider the later as irrelevant to former. In shorter words: It is not alternative to Gnome Do.

    Thanks!

    DocFetcher is for searching through the text of documents on your desktop, while Gnome Do is a more general desktop search tool with a focus on launching applications. While there is a little overlap, most people searching for a Gnome Do alternative are looking for another application launcher.
