I desperately need this. I've collected hundreds upon hundreds of technical papers and research reports and I can no longer find the ones I need at any given time with any reliability or ease.
Use "locate." It's a unix utility and ships with SUSE. It's INSTANTLY available. You build a db first as root using "updatedb" and from then on, it becomes a cron job. Beagle is nice, but locate being instant gives me info. "like now."
Locate is great, but it is only looking at file names. Beagle indexes contents and things like your email, so it is searching far more than file names. That said, I'm underwhelmed by the Beagle version shipped with 9.3. It's absolutely not a flagship component, I found it difficult to set up and full of bugs.
