I gues you never realy used beagle because of the way you compare it with locate. It realy isn't the same thing. Can you use locate to find a persons name in a email or in a chat log? I think not.
You're right. I use seamonkey to search my mail and gaim to search my chat log. Works for me and I couldn't yet see a reason why I should run a third app to search my mail and chat log.
I was merely pointing out the difference between locate and beagle, because you were talking about it as if it was some kind of replacement for locate. If i would type: locate suse, it would give me tons of files that contain the string suse. If i type the same thing in beagle, it gives me chatlogs,documents,webpages,emails and personal files that contain the string suse all that in just one app instead of using the search funtions of my system/browser/email-client/IM-client. For that reason i find beagle very handy. Beagle can be very cpu hungry, but it realy helps if you told it what not to search. Anyway, it's a program that you may or may not use, you are given a choice,be thankfull for that :-) Chris Maaskant.
