Beagle

Beagle is a search tool that lets you search in your personal information space.

More technically, Beagle is a Linux desktop-independent service which transparently and unobtrusively keeps track of your data and provides searching and indexing capabilities.

* Changes to data are indexed in real time.
* Files are immediately indexed when they are created, are re-indexed when they are modified, and are dropped from the index upon deletion.
* E-mails are indexed upon arrival.
* IM conversations are indexed as you chat, a line at a time.
* Web pages are indexed as you view them.

Beagle supports many different data sources and file formats. A complete list can be found on the Supported Filetypes page.

When you search using Beagle, you search all of the text and metadata contained inside your documents. Any information that can be extracted from your data is available to you. You can search for your MP3 files by artist, your emails by person, and all your documents by keyword.

Beagle uses the Lucene indexing system from the Apache project and the prodigious Doug Cutting, ported to .NET by George Aroush.http://beagle-project.org/Main_Page
