Yes - I saw that. I suspect something in the update broke it. It was
working quite well before that.

I tried recoll back a bit, and even worked with the developer to add a
few advanced search capabilities. At that time it was not as useful to
me as Beagle, so I switched to Beagle. But, if Beagle can't be
resurrected, it will probably be my next choice. I have currently gone
back to DTsearch, an excellent search tool that runs on Win. The
version I have can index most of my linux box via the local net, but
permissions get in the way of some stuff.

Big question, though - does Beagle work on your comp? I'm trying to
see if it's just me, or it has failed with all updated 10.04 installs.

Thanks very much for the info.
