It might make sense to automatically look for a database on every

whether it should be the default.
It probably should not, I would guess. Most people for now would not
be using a database of this type (since it is useful mainly for people
using clusters of machines), and requiring locate to look for such
databases would mean that locate would always fail on clients of
unresponsive NFS servers.
