Does the SEARCH function work OK in FC6?

[M Daniel R Magarzo]

I don't know why, but it seems to me it's not working normally.
Whichever I put as string to find, it tells me always the same, nothing
found. Actually, it never finds anything!
The same happens when launching Beagle directly. :-(

Has someone experienced something similar (FC6)?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

beagled is running on my system, but

beagle-info --status

just hangs most of the time and my home directory and the other
directories I've listed in the indexing preferences don't seem to have
been indexed.

If I manually kill the autostarted beagled and run it from the command
line, then beagle-info will show that indexing is scheduled to take
place in the near future, but it never seems to happen and subsequent
beagle-info checks also hang.

Thanks

It seems that the behaviour of beagle-info that you described before is
also reproducing here.. though I don't know beagle very much. In fact, I
hardly-ever use it, unlike the Search function embebed in Nautilus.
Actually, I don't know whether this one has any interconection with the
first (Beagle), or maybe each one is totally independent from each
other.

Nevertheless, I frequently resort to the Nautilus Search, and specially
during/after a system update-install, because of the numerous amount of
short-text-notes that are being continuously accumulated from release to
release; As everybody can suppose, they are specially helpful when
moments like this arrive.

I don't know if the next have anything to do with all this, but I did a
fresh install of FC6 over 3 partitions where previously lived FC5, /boot
and / were formatted again BUT with /home I decided (for the first time
as opposed to older FC/RedHat installs) to asign the newer /home there
without formatting. Everything went O.K. 
(BTW, it's absolutely recommendable, you save loooots of efforts & time)
It seems like that the Nautilus Search function hasn't indexed the files
placed into that partition...

Please Steve, is your Nautilus Search working right? Did you preserve
your older /home in order to build your fc6?

I don't know if this is simply odd (configuring or something I can being
missing..) or is just, purely Murphy.. that appears (as usual) choosing
the "best moment" :-))

Thanks again,
Daniel

I started with an upgrade to FC6, but after screwing around for two days
trying to get a couple of small things working, I backed up ~/ and did a
clean install. After restoring my home directory, I deleted ~/.beagle so
 that would be clean (in case there were version differences).

The search in Nautilus doesn't seem to do or find anything.

I noticed yesterday that none of my indexes have been updated since
the 30th of October, and all the log files in ~./beagle/Logs are empty

So no, bneagle is not working here...

Since a few others have replied that they are getting no results, I did 
a bugzilla search:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Fedora+Core&ver...

The following bug appears to match your symptoms.

Installing the version from fedora-updates-testing seems to have
resolved the problem.

Thank you for your effort. Very kind.

Actually, -as I said IIRC- my worry was particularly the Search function
embebed in Nautilus, not beagle by itself; in fact, I repeat that I've
hardly-ever used it.
So, thank you for your links, but all there are related to beagle bugs,
not the _search_ applet in Nautilus. AFAIK, they are not the same, the
nautilus one is there from ages whereas beagle is a software more
recent.

I was searching something similar in bugzilla yesterday, but over the
about 90 bugs that were matching with the only string "search" as
criteria, none of them told anything about these.

So, I've opened a new bug: Bug 215235 Processed: The Search function in
Nautilus 2.16.2 doesn't work for files living in the home dir
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215235

Since I updated beagle from fedora-updates-testing, the Nautilus search
function has started working.

Pleased to hear that, thanks for the info. 
I may try that workaround too, picking up that package to install or
something about, but only if I see I won't go into a madness of
dependencies, you know..

Otherwise, I suppose I'd have to wait until the bug fixing.. Actually,
I've discovered what a uncomfortable the daily work is without that
tool. Conclusion: the more basic is the tool, if you are get used to it,
the more essential becomes.

Cheers,
Daniel
