Sorry -- shows how often I use it -- I just discovered that search
doesn't find anything on my set up either. I simply never need it, so
never noticed that it wasn't indexing anything. This is the output I
get from:

It seems to be running (although those dates are all, of course,
several days ago). But I don't know what it's doing. Sorry I couldn't
be more help. I'll obviously need to study beagle more.
