Beagle crawls in breadth-first method. In case if you had tried beagle long back, probably, you might want to swipe off the existing beagle-index files (typically, rm -rf .beagle) and restart beagle for re-indexing. Or otherwise, copy your OOo files to your home directory and beagle will pick it up instantaneously and indexes it immediately. I am assuming that you have proper latest inotify kernel in place.thx Matt, i did see that.
what i'm trying to figure out is why my OOo files aren't being indexed right now, and i'm assuming that i need what Trow called a separate filter. so what i'm trying to figure out is whether or not there's a separate filter component that i need to download and compile, or whether my Beagle is simply misbehaving by not crawling this content out of the box. my PDF's aren't being crawled either, from what i can tell.
so when i'm asking about where the filters are, i'm looking for something to download. but maybe there's nothing to download.
Filters are contained in <prefix>/beagle/Filters/Filters.dll. The supported filetypes are those that are listed in beagle site. By default, you get all those filters installed along with beagle. However, there are few dependencies/packages required for few filters to work.
They are:
Package/Dependency Filter/Filetype
1) wv1 MS Word (*.doc)
2) gsf-sharp MS Powerpoint (*.ppt)
3) pdfinfo (command line tool) PDF (*.pdf)The above dependency/packages are required for beagle to index these files.

V. Varadhan.
