It should, but I have had the indexes get stale, especially if I worked for awhile with the beagle service turned off. It helps to occasionally stop the Beagle service, open a shell, "export BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG=1", run "beagle-search" (yes - from the shell!), then start the service. This will make the service index aggressively as fast as it can; bringing the index up to date. I do this on my laptop when I go to bed - then in the morning stop the service, close the shell, run beagle-search from the GUI (GNOME-Do!) and restart the service [now running in an environment without BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG set] so it is back to running as a low-priority background service. You can also stop the service, "rm -R ~/.beagle", "export BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG=1", beagle-search, start the service - to rebuild all your indexes from scratch as fast as it can. -- openSUSE <http://www.opensuse.org/en/> Linux for human beings who need to get things done.
