The GUI menu item Places > Search has replaced the older working Places
Find Files or some such name. The old one always located files on my
computer if I entered a partial file name.
The current Search app, beagle, seems to be useless.
[gerry@fc5t3 ~]$ rpm -q beagle
beagle-0.2.1-12
I have preferences set to index my home directory and the system
root, /. If I enter fedora as the search string in the Find: box, I
first get a message that nothing was found, and then after a wait of
about 20 seconds, all I get is references to messages held in Evolution
for this mailing list.
If I cd to my home directory and execute
grep -R fedora *
I get many results of files containing the string fedora.
If I execute
locate fedora
I get many files with fedora in the name.
How is one supposed to use beagle to find these things?
I would really like to see this tool be useful.
Thanks.
Gerry
