Actually, I think he was referring to the fact that MacOSX's Spotlight
and Vista's Instant Search were mentioned, but Beagle which predates
both of them wasn't.

"Apple Computer's Mac OS X operating system supports cataloguing and
searching for file metadata through a feature known as Spotlight, as
of version 10.4. Microsoft worked in the development of similar
functionality with the Instant Search system in Windows Vista, as well
as being present in SharePoint Server. Linux implements file metadata
using extended file attributes."
