Start search & indexing services automatically: 

Select this option if you want the search 

daemon to start automatically when you log in to your session (this option is selected by 
default). If you want to use Beagle’s Search functionality, the daemon must be running.

Index data while on battery power: 

Select this option if you want your data to be indexed 

when your computer is operating on battery power. This option is particularly useful if you are 
using SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop on a laptop and you want to stop indexing when your 
laptop is running on battery power.

Automatically start searching after the user has stopped typing: 

Select this option if you 

want Beagle to start searching as soon as you stop entering text in the 

Find

 field in the Desktop 

Search window. This option has no effect on the 

Search

 field in the main menu.

Display the search window by pressing: 

Choose the keystrokes that will display the Desktop 

Search window by specifying any combination of Ctrl, Alt, and a function key. F12 is the 
default keystroke.

Click 

OK

.

9.5  Indexing Other Directories

By default, Beagle indexes your home directory only. If you do not want your home directory to be 
indexed, uncheck the 

Index my home directory 

option on the 

Indexing

 tab of the Search Preferences 

dialog box. If you want to index additional folders, follow these steps:

1

Click 

Computer > More Applications > System > Search & Indexing.

You can also click 

Search > Preferences

 in the Desktop Search dialog box.

2

Click the 

Indexing

 tab.

3

Click 

Add

 in the 

General

 section of the dialog box.

4

Select the directory you want to index, then click 

Open

.

Make sure you have rights to the directories you add.
