Beagle is a search system for Linux and other such modern Unix-like systems, enabling the user to search documents, chat logs, email and contact lists in a similar way to Spotlight in Mac OS X, and Windows Search or the more popular Google Desktop (third party) under Microsoft Windows.

Beagle grew out of [http://nat.org/dashboard/ Dashboard] , an early Mono based application for watching and presenting useful information from a user's computer. It is written in C# using Mono and uses a port of Lucene to C# called [http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/ Lucene.Net] as its indexer. Beagle includes a Gtk#-based user interface, and integrates with Galago for presence information.

Beagle is developed and maintained by Joe Shaw, with help from a growing open source Beagle community. Other notable past contributors include Jon Trowbridge, Robert Love, Nat Friedman, and David Camp.

Features

Beagle searches the content of documents and associated metadata. With Beagle, users can search for:
* Applications
* Archives (zip, tar, gzip, bzip2) and their contents
* Conversations (Gaim, Kopete and IRC logs)
* Documents (AbiWord, OpenOffice.org, Microsoft Office, pdf, txt, rtf, html)
* Emails and Address Book contacts (from Evolution, Mozilla Thunderbird, and KMail)
* Help files (Texinfo, man pages)
* Images (png, jpg, tiff, gif, svg)
* Music files (mp3, ogg, flac)
* Notes taken in Tomboy, KNotes, and Labyrinth
* RSS feeds (via Blam, Liferea or Akregator)
* Source code (C, C++, C#, Fortran, Java, JavaScript, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, and more)
* Video files (through MPlayer or Totem)
* Web history (Firefox, Konqueror, Epiphany)

Beagle can also index additional file types not natively supported using external tools through a configuration file.

Beagle instantly push indexes documents on Linux systems equipped with inotify.
