[opensuse] Is beagle supposed to find emails?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Beagle is running almost continuously (beagle-0.2.17-6.1 in suse 10.2), indexing and using most of my cpu. Currently, beagle-status says: Scheduler: Count: 70780 Status: Executing task Idle 0 (10/24/2007 11:06:54 PM) RemoveOldThunderbirdMails So, I try to find some thing. I bring up the search dialog, and tell it to find "suse". Surely, I have thousands and thousands of emails from this lists, so beagle it's sure to find some? Well, it finds exactly 5 emails, and is utterly unable to display any of them. Like this: Subject: Re: [opensuse] 10.3 and evolution From: Teruel de Campo MD Date Received: October 4 Folder: lists.sbd/os-en If I click on it, it opens thunderbird, which displays nothing... which is not surprising, as thunderbird is not my main mail client, and the indexes in lists.sbd are obsolete. So... how do I tell beagle to forget thunderbird and search for mails where they really are? More. I tell it to search for "linux". It appears to find: Two applications: remote controls and irkick. Four documents: procmail.log, inbox.msf, trash.msf, nstmp..msf Five email conversations (the same as for "suse", it seems. two websites, both local: suse help and susehelp. So, the real question should be: Is beagle any good? If it is unable to find any thing useful, I might as well remove it, and reclaim the 678978722 bytes of its indexes (for just one user!) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFHH9FntTMYHG2NR9URAs94AJ93Bw1Tykz8z/0g/Jn4vrk3qPzIqwCcCdvM OUsjjzKSFtIM3T3l14GAQBA= =mZ0o -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I have used kerry/beagle successfully a few times. For example, to search through a 100 PDF files from a conference. On Wed October 24 2007 17:12, Carlos E. R. wrote:

I have 0.2.17 in 10.1 and it is by far less intrusive than it was in the beginning. It hasn't bothered me anymore.

Interesting. My found zero. But it got at least 99 hits of "opensuse". I guess it needs full words. "*suse" also works, but somehow it found only 78. I selected "conversations", so it was only flagging e-mails and ircs.
If I click on it, it opens thunderbird, which displays nothing... which is not surprising, as thunderbird is not my main mail client, and the indexes in lists.sbd are obsolete.
Maybe that is the problem. I have Kmail checked in my Configure/Backends in Kerry and it opens each e-mail with Kmail properly. -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Do you use kerry (search frontend for the beagle index in KDE), or how do you tell your linux system to search the beagle index?

In kerry, open "Backends" where you would open daemon-status dialog. See whether your email client is listed there and activate it. In case you don't use kerry, see http://beagle-project.org/Configuring and use an xterm.

Dunno. I'm using gnome, and there was an applet in the taskbar which I have since yesterday removed as useless, so I don't know its name. I don't think it was kerry.

I have started kerry and ticked out evolution, kmail, and thunderbird - there is no plain "Mail" folder search, like Pine or Mutt. But I have disabled the daemon, as it is unable to find anything useful and wastes almost a gigabyte in my home. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Ah. That's (probably) it. I don't know whether there is a backend that indexes "plain" E-Mail folders.

Well I had problems with beagle indexing my documents, which is teh main reason I (not only keep but) need beagle. It does that now, so I allow him to keep running. Guido -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
