Sifting through files to find/list word/phrase occurrences

[Phil Bieber]

Hi!
Beagle is a Desktop Search Tool, simillar to Google Desktop Search or MS
Desktop Search, just Open Source ;-)

You can index your harddisk (or parts of it) and it searches them. IIRC
Beagle supports many filetyps to be searched (OO.org, MS Office...) and it's
in the KUbuntu Repos (I think....)

Cheers

Philipp Bieber
