Description James Ogley 2007-02-23 09:24:22 UTC 
According to beagle-search, beagled has finished indexing my data (ie it doesn't give me the message saying it is still indexing) and yet there are some major discrepancies between what a search finds and what I know to be in my $HOME ...

I'll attach a screenshot of the search window, but on a search for 'suse' it found only 2 directories and 3 images ...

ogley@riggwelter2:~/Documents/images> find . -type f | grep -i suse | wc -l
358

ogley@riggwelter2:~/Documents> find . -type d | grep -i suse | wc -l
34

Interestingly when I saved the screenshot I'm about to attach, it detected it okay.

I don't have such problems on my system. You can give newest beagle a try by using  this repository - http://software.opensuse.org/download/Beagle/openSUSE_10.2 and if the problem persists you can purge current indexes and record all output for errors when reindexing by running beagle in terminal (and forcing it to reindex everything at once):

$ beagle-shutdown
$ rm -rf ~/.beagle
$ export BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG=1
$ beagled &> index_log

Attach the log if the error persists with newest beagle, also report mono version. Don't forget to give a shout if it works fine with latest beagle. :-)

I am so sorry, I just saw that you are using 10.3. Can you please do the logging part and mono version.

Thanks.

Here's the log file.  I am using 10.3-alpha (Factory) with the packages from the Build Service project.

Mono version details:
ogley@riggwelter2:~> rpm -q mono-core
mono-core-1.2.2-14

James: Are there specific results you are expecting to see, but don't?  Comparing beagle-search results with find | grep can be pretty misleading for a few reasons:

grep does substring searches by default, Beagle doesn't.  So if you have a directory which is "susestuff", a search for "suse" won't match it.  (But a search for "suse*" will.)

beagle normally only takes the newest 100 results from each backend and displays them.  The file system is one backend, emails another, etc.  Since there are roughly 100 documents being shown, this limit is probably being hit.  At the bottom you can see that there are additional matches, though: top 313 of 6751 total matches.

Forgot about this - #5 answered my question, closing as INVALID.
