Beagle – **AWOL**

Last Updated on July 21, 2020

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, or Google Desktop.

Beagle is a Linux desktop-independent service which transparently and unobtrusively indexes your data in real-time.

Beagle includes a GNOME-based graphical tool and a web based interface for searching its indexes. It also provides programming interfaces (in C#, C, and Python) so that any application can plug into Beagle’s searching and indexing power.

Beagle uses the Lucene indexing system from the Apache project and the prodigious Doug Cutting, ported to .NET by George Aroush.

Beagle lets you find:

• Documents
• Emails and attachments
• Web history
• IM/IRC conversations
• Addressbook contacts
• Calender appointments
