Uh. What's "Games"? Right now, Shovel scans:

/Developer/Applications

I've never seen "Games" on any machine.
I have a ~/Games folder, and I assume other people do that too (I'm
guessing there's probably some people with a /Games folder as well).
Oh, I forgot about /Developer/Applications as well. But why scan all of
the home folder? The only necessary folder is ~/Applications (and, in
my case, ~/Games)? Nothing else is useful.
That is a pretty bold assumption :-)
For example, my layout looks like this:
/Local/Applications
/Local/Users/me
And I have a pretty good reason for that:
My home gets backed up much more frequently than /Local/Applications
and I want to keep out the Apps so it fits on a single DVD-R.
I'd prefer Alastairs FSCatalogSearch approach, sounds like the right
thing.
