% Registration Beagle: Free and Open Desktop Search
% [2]Register/Submit Proposal Jon Trowbridge (trow@novell.com)
I will be discussing Beagle, a desktop search
system that is currently being developed by
Novell. It acts as a search aggregator,
providing a simple API for simultaneously
querying multiple data sources. Pluggable
backends do the actual searching while Beagle
handles the details, such as consolidating and
ranking the hits and passing them back to
client applications. Beagle includes a core
set of backends that build full-text indexes
of your personal data, allowing you to
efficiently search your files, e-mail,
contacts, calendar, IM logs, notes and web
history. These indexes are updated in real
time to ensure that any search results will
always reflect the current state of your data.
