Description JP Rosevear 2005-08-28 19:16:59 UTC
In the panel Places menu, Search for Files... should launch nautilus/beagle
search instead of gnome-search-tool
Comment 1 JP Rosevear 2005-08-29 02:34:42 UTC
Patches submitted to nautilus and gnome-panel.
Comment 2 Alberto Passalacqua 2005-10-27 20:58:50 UTC
Beagle is not the same of Gnome search. Beagle indexes the directory you choose, gnome search is a graphical front-end to search in your filesystem. Please restore it to the default.
Comment 3 JP Rosevear 2005-10-27 22:00:55 UTC
It is our belief users rarely want to search the whole filesystem.  gnome-search-tool is still shipped.
Comment 4 Alberto Passalacqua 2005-10-28 17:29:39 UTC
gnome-search-tool allows the user to search in specific directory and following specific criteria. It's useful if you want to look for a file in a non indexed directory, or if you don't want to index tons of data. Moreover, beagle is accessible using the icon in the notification area.
Comment 5 Alberto Passalacqua 2005-10-28 17:38:29 UTC
Where it is and how can I replace begle with the standard feature?
Comment 6 JP Rosevear 2005-10-28 18:34:44 UTC
Its in gnome-utils which is probably already installed on your system.

You could simply edit /opt/gnome/share/applications/nautilus-search.desktop to use it by default.  Change the Exec line to Exec=gnome-search-tool

That should do it.
