 Epiphany support is experimental and security dangerous. That's why it
is disabled for now. From source's README:

"This is an Epiphany extension that allows Beagle to index every page
the user views.  The code is derived from Dashboard's extension.

Right now, this extension is just a hack: for every page, Epiphany tries
to
run a program named 'beagle-epiphany-index'.  The page's URI and title
are
passed to beagle-epiphany-index as command-line arguments, and the HTML
is
written to its stdin.

Obviously this opens up a huge security hole: anyone who can get a rogue
program named 'beagle-epiphany-index' into the user's path can spy on
all of
their web traffic.

There is also the issue of private information (account numbers, etc.)
ending
up in the index.  To try to avoid this, beagle-epiphany-index will not
index
https:// URIs."

  If you want this feature, you will need to compile the package
yourself. I can help you on doing that, as it is very easy.

  Cheers,
