There is a slight distinction between system-wide index and personal index
(home directory files, emails, browsing history etc.). System wide indexes, by
their nature, are like updatedb/mandb/whereis indexes and are not designed to
be throttled. They run at full steam when started. Whereas personal index is
monitored real time and speeds up/slows down based on the system load. That's
why creating the system-wide index soon after login is a bad idea but crawling
for personal data is not.
Next, you should also take into account the use case. There are many
system-wide indexes shipped with beagle (as in with beagle upstream). They
include an index for documentation, index for applications, and (these are
disabled by default in the tarball) those for manpages, monodoc files etc.
Which of them is useful for a live-cd user ? Yelp uses the documentation index,
but do you think a lot of live-cd users search for documentation ? Even in that
case, yelp can do normal search if the system-wide index is not present. The
application index maybe useful if gnome-start-menu/kickoff/deskbar is enabled
to search beagle.
And of course, the "searching system wide indexes from beagle-search"
accidentally got disabled in 0.3.7 :-)
