Of course it does. The most important requirement of any search tool (regexp or not) is that it must display results that correspond to the current version of the files. Even a daemon that watches the tree and calls mkid in the background when files in the tree have changed isn't enough, the results will regularly be wrong during N seconds (where N depends on the size of the tree, for example, on my laptop, 30 for a 1 GB tree).And you always change your files in significant enough ways with such frequency? Then yes, IDUtils is probably not for you, too bad.
Again I'm not talking about myself. I only say that a search tool which displays wrong results (not even "Try again later") is not the right tool for most users. Nobody would understand that, for example, after a git pull, a git checkout, or a git apply, they have to wait "some time" before doing a search.
