Topic: Beagle - web based file search engine

[rport]

Hi.

Has anyone had any experience installing or using Beagle on their SME server http://www.gnome.org/projects/beagle/ I am looking for a tool (like Google Desktop Search) to index and query all of the ibays by users are placing on the servers.

Love to hear from the guru's.

Take a look at sphider search easy install and use
it is not a desktop search but a web search as Sme has no desktop you will be able to index one or all ibays and view on line

You can make it readable to the world or just the admin by how you set the ibay you install it in

it took 8 minutes to index my entire site

see sample at

ps
had to adjust my robot.txt file in my main site
it had disallowed any type of search spider

hope this helps

Hi.

We use two SME servers in our office, one (world) is the web/mail server for our company, the other (office) which is an internal file server.

We have about 5 ibays on (office) which are used for things like general, sales, hr, finance. There are literally thousands of files within these ibays.

I'm looking to index these files, which are not accessable via a http spider or similar search.

Perhaps the best way to summarise my requirements is to say that if we can't find a file, I log in and use slocate and grep ie.

Code: [Select]

$ locate myfile|grep doc

The problem with this is that i can do this as root but 'normal' users don't have this access or skill.

So i need a web based interface to locate files on the local file server.

Any suggestions.
