Indeed. Thanks for that. :)
The only problem I see with Beagle is the amount of disk space
required for the indexes. 1.7G on my box, but I have a lot of disk
space and the cost is nothing like what my first 32MB hard drive was.
(I have two 8GB camera chips that combined cost less....)
Yeah, I can't believe I ever had a machine with just a 20 meg hard
drive myself. Of course, I couldn't do a whole lot with it either. :)
One possible remedy for the space issue (if it ever does become a
problem) is that you could delete the ~/.beagle/TextCache directory.
This contains the plain text of complex documents (like files inside
an archive, or MS Office docs) that would take too long to extract
from their source at search-time. They're used to generate the
"snippets" of the document you see in results. Removing that
directory means no more snippets, but I'm guessing that in your setup
it'll save you 500 megs to a gig of space.
