Start search & indexing services automatically: Select this option if you want the search
daemon to start automatically when you log in to your session (this option is selected by
default). If you want to use Beagle's Search functionality, the daemon must be running.
Index data while on battery power: Select this option if you want your data to be indexed
when your computer is operating on battery power. This option is particularly useful if you are
using SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop on a laptop and you want to stop indexing when your
laptop is running on battery power.
Automatically start searching after the user has stopped typing: Select this option if you
want Beagle to start searching as soon as you stop entering text in the Find field in the Desktop
Search window. This option has no effect on the Search field in the main menu.
Display the search window by pressing: Choose the keystrokes that will display the Desktop
Search window by specifying any combination of Ctrl, Alt, and a function key. F12 is the
default keystroke.
You can also click Search > Preferences in the Desktop Search dialog box.
Make sure you have rights to the directories you add.
