starting beagle-search and searching for "desktop" or "fedora" does not find anything, even after I created a text file on my desktop and put the word "fedora" in it. In this form, we should rather drop beagle and go back to the old search thing, which at least finds some stuff
Hmmm, this might actually be a sqlite2 vs sqlite3 problem. Make sure you have removed sqlite2 from the system, then remove ~/.gnome2/f-spot and ~/.beagle and try again. Make sure you wait a while, the initial scan of $home takes a while and isn't started immediately. If you want to see what is happening run beagled --fg in a terminal.
Works with 0.2.1-6. Apparently a side-effect of broken evolution integration
