The Beagle daemon, on the other hand, is run from within your individual user account.
This is because Beagle searches for data that exists within your own user space. To start the
Beagle daemon, open a terminal session and enter beagled at the shell prompt. The
daemon will run in the background and begin automatically indexing content available to
your user account. You can also turn the Beagle daemon on in the YaST Runlevel Editor;
see Chapter 22, ???Managing the Boot Process and Other Services,??? for more information.
If you want to customize how the daemon behaves, you can run the Beagle configuration
utility by entering beagle-settings from the shell prompt. When you do so, the screen
shown in Figure 18.13 is displayed.
TIP
Both desktop search tools, Beagle-Search (GNOME) and Kerry (KDE), offer access to
beagle-settings for the shell-shy.
Under the Search tab, you can configure whether beagled automatically starts searches
and indexing as well as the hotkey sequence required to open the search window. You can
configure what beagled will index by selecting the Indexing tab, shown in Figure 18.
