Hi, people... Have anybody used strigi?
About a week ago I Beagle started using 100% of my cpu. It seems some people
have this problem but no one found a solution yet. So, I decided to change my
indexed search engine. I use Google Desktop at work so I decided to reinstall
strigi in my Kubuntu 8.04 box.
I used to use beagle with kerry and I really love the interface, the search
results are well categorized, you can apply some filters (not many but it's
what I need). It lets KDE create the preview of the files in the search result
window, and it has a realy nice kopete log viewer.
Strigi, on the other hand... well... the complete search results are shown in a
browser (I have to wait 'till it's open), the categories it uses are even worse
than google's, it searches through every text file the same... I get kopete
logs, normal text files, c, java, haskell, latex sources, and configuration
files all mixed up. Even the web page is ugly. And I really miss the kopete log
viewer... I really use the index search to remember what I've been told (my
biological memory sucks).
Maybe all that can be fixed or reconfigured... but I don't know how. I googled a
bit about it but found nothing.
Is there a strigi client in the style of kerry?
Is there any kopete log viewer that I can associate with the log xml files to
show them in a more human fashion?
Is there any way to... well... organize the search results? so, at least it
doesn't get everything so mixed up?
I never really used strigi because I was comfortable with beagle... but I always
thought of Kubuntu guys like the kind of people that is very careful choosing
programs. I even like Dolphin for my day to day file administration tasks. I
think it was an improvement... but strigi... well... It's really letting me
down.
