Ah, I missed that. Indeed it does, but so does Beagle.
In either case, relevancy in desktop search is tough to do and probably doesn't work all that well in practice. (Part of what makes web search easy, and what Google picked up on from the start, are that the relationships between web pages are part of what make them important. Sadly, those links simply don't exist in desktop data today.)
Odd. What I've noticed over the few hours since it's been running is that it has been entirely unobtrusive.
It's not that surprising. From personal experience and reading various people's posts on this list about Beagle, it seems to work very well for some and not so well for others. I think it depends a lot on the volume and type of data.
Seems so - I had to uninstall Beagle from all my and my friends machines because it was just killing the CPU - making the interface sluggish at best. Must add - this is the Beagle version on the 10.2 DVD - I havent tried installing and updating to latest version. Google Desktop has been running for 2 days now - I havent noticed. But the indexing is a bit weird - jumping around 20% - 12% - 50% etc E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
