Hi! All the files in ~/.beagle/ToIndex get handled by our IndexingServiceQueryable. How this queryable works is that the ToIndex directory is monitored by inotify and every time you drop a file in there, it gets handled by the queryable itself and indexed.
Alongside with the actual file to index you drop in a metadata file (sidecar) which defines the URI, HitType, MimeType and properties of the file you want to index. The metadata filename is prefixed with a '.' (so if you want to index "foo.html", the metadata filename is ".foo.html"). Structure of the metadata file: * 1.line - URI * 2.line - HitType * 3. line - MimeType * All following lines are properties in "t:key=value" format Hope that helps! ;-) Best, Lukas On 6/2/07, Tao Fei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have read the old extension's code. I'm a little confused. It seems that the extension write the meta data (url, title, etc) of an web page into a file (in ~/.beagle/ToIndex ) and then overwritten it with the content of the web page. Then it works. The page is indexed. It doesn't call beagle-index-url. I need more information about how beagle index the file. How does beagle know the file is an web page ? (I have read the wiki, but failed to found any information about it) Any links?
