SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop

Beagle Desktop Search

Does your search leave you missing something...like results? With Beagle integrated desktop search, you don't need to worry about where or when you stored or accessed information. Simple keyword searches return all documents, applications, e-mail and instant messages and even recent Web pages in a single results window.

Of course you can specify which folders to include in indexing, and can exclude any type of resource, such as a directory path, filename pattern, or mail folder.

Beagle is a fast and relentless search tool that can find nearly anything you've stored on your desktop.

• documents
• emails and attachments
• web history
• IM/IRC conversations
• addressbook contacts
• calendar appointments
• notes
• source code
• images
• music/video files
• archives and their contents
• applications

Beagle will even extract text and meta data from the following:

• Folders
• Office Documents
  • OpenOffice.org (sxw, sxc, sxi and more)
  • OpenDocument (odt, ods, odp)
  • Microsoft Office (doc, xls, ppt)
  • AbiWord (abw)
  • Scribus (sla)
  • Rich Text Format (rtf)
  • PDF
• Text Documents
  • HTML (xhtml, html, htm)
  • Source code (Boo, C, C++, C#, Fortran, Java, JavaScript, Lisp, Matlab, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Scilab and Shell scripts)
  • Plain text (txt, any plain text file that isn't filed under any other category)
• Documentation/Help Documents
  • Texinfo
  • Man pages
  • Docbook
  • Monodoc
  • Windows help files (chm)
• Images (jpeg, png, bmp, tiff, gif, svg)
  • F-Spot and Digikam tags in the images are also indexed
• Audio (mp3, ogg, flac)
• Video (mpeg, asf, wmv, mng, mp4, quicktime and other formats supported by MPlayer or Totem)
• Archive files (zip, tar, gzip, bzip2) and their contents
• Application launchers
• Linux packages (ebuild, rpm, dpkg)
• Generic XSLT files

Basically, if Beagle can't fetch it for you, it's probably not there.
