Don't get me wrong, I like Strigi...but I have (at the current moment) 47587 documents, 245 videos and 405 pictures. I cannot find them without the aide of a desktop search system.

So, I've been wondering, does Beagle or Tracker fit in KDE without hassle?

Or are there others?

Cheers,

If you just want to find them by file name (not content) from KRunner, you can try fsrunner.

I use recoll with no problem, there's a kio but you'll need to compile it as I don't think anyone packages it

Content?

The problem I'm having is that...well, my files arent indexed. As in, my files...umm...arent indexed :P

Yes, i've gone into System Settings -> Enable Strigi

and I've run strigiclient (which collects about 12mb of data before it stops indexing)

Umm...help? :P

Open a Konsole, and enter "sopranocmd". Look in the output for the following:

Code: Select all

   --backend           The backend to use when accessing a storage directly and not via the Soprano server.
                       Possible backends are:
                       redland, sesame2

If you do not have sesame2 then indexing will not occur, as redland is too slow and has been disabled by default.

sesame2 is not in the repos for Kubuntu, though I do have package 'soprano-backend-sesame' which NEPOMUK requested to be installed.

That package is the "sesame2" backend for Soprano. I am not surprised Nepomuk requested its installation.

Lovely! Now if only I could find a way for Strigi indexing to be activated every so often.
