Hi, > Does beagle try to index every single file in my ~ (including > "dot-dir"s)? I have done searches on terms that I know are in files in
By default, beagle tries to index every file under your home-dirctory, _except_ dot-dirs. Files and subdirs under .dir wont be indexed. > my ~ but they are not showing up in beagle. This is not the intended behaviour; either their is some bug or there is some mistake in the setup. > Does beagle try to exclude files it "thinks" you don't want indexed like > a "binary" "db" file for example? Its hard to extract data from binary files. I am not even sure how to extract all words from a db file. But anyway, beagle relies on a huge collection of filters to extract data from various types of files. The filters in beagle cover nearly all the possible formats from which data extraction is possible e.g. html, doc, comments from jpeg. There is no filter for 'binary db' files as of now; hence beagle would ignore them. > (How) Can I examine beagle's index and see what files are in the index? Similar to the way you examine Google's index and see what webpages are in the index :) Jokes aside, the recommended way to examine if a file is indexed is to query for the filename. Put the whole name in quotes and you should get it in the results. - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dbera.blogspot.com beagle / KDE fan Mandriva / Inspiron-1100 user _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
