First of all, you have a GUI, which, in my case, it's accessible by clicking on the little magnifying glass on my upper left corner. Then the interface appears and I just look for something. The search is lightning fast and lets me look into documents, emails, websites, etc. For example, I look the for the phrase "birthday" and it lists all my documents that contain that phrase, like: emails, pidgin logs, pdfs, open office docs, websites, etc. Before this, you have to activate it and, optionally, set the private folders (folders I don't want it to look at) and "other" directories (directories outside my user dir that I want it to index). By default, it only indexes my user directory. Also, you can "filter" the types of document(s) you want it to look at. For example, if I wanted "birthday" to be searched only at my emails, I would filter them and that's it! It's amazing. Try runing, on your Comand Line Interface (CLI) man beagled I, ussually, for debuging purposes, run beagled --fg so it tells me what is it doing and any error that may surge > It simply said, repeatedly (and like you), "beagle is very useful". -- Renich Bon Ciric <renich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Woralelandia
