Wrong date and a search suggestion

[Andreas Heinz <dashboard a80 net>]

Hi there again,

i just installed 0.2.8 from source without problems.
recently i came across a point in which i first thought beagle wouldn't 
index my files correctly, but i was wrong in understanding beagles option.

i searched for some mp3s on my harddisk. my mp3s are sorted into 
directory in the following structure:

/mp3s/artist - album/tracknum - title.mp3

now when i search for a track, searching with artist name and title 
won't work since beagle only searches for occurences in the filename, 
which won't find any results since the artist name won't be in the filename.
i have read, that it's planed to search in id3 tags, but this doenst 
solve the problem for let's say movies...
hope you get my point. i would like to suggest a feature like adding 
extended search, in which one could define that the search term should 
be applied against the whole file path. as i didn't find this in beagle 
(maybe i'm blind ;)) i think this would improve possibility to find 
stuff on one's computer.

second problem:
i installed 0.2.8 mainly because of thunderbird backend. works great, 
but there's one point that irritates me. for example i have mails from 
my girlfriend, which where sent on 11th of july 2006, thunderbird prints 
this to me with "11/07/2006". but beagle interprets this as 7th of 
november, which definitly ist wrong.
where does this come from? i dont know if i have some strange setting, 
so i think it would be great if someone who is familiar with the 
thunderbird backende could comment on this.

thanks in advance
Andreas
