11.2 Configuring Kerry

You can configure Kerry by right-clicking its icon in the tray and choosing Configure
Kerry or by clicking Configure in Kerry's main window. The configuration dialog has
four tabs.
On the Search tab, you can change the Default result sort order, Maximum number of
results displayed on one page, or shortcuts for activating Kerry Beagle Search.
On the Indexing tab, set whether the Beagle indexing service should be started automat-
ically and whether data should be indexed while the computer is operating on battery
power. You can also determine which folders should be indexed by Kerry Beagle Search
and which folders should not be indexed at all. See
Directories" (page 187) and
Indexed" (page 188) for detailed instructions.
On the Backends tab, choose which of the available Beagle back-ends should be enabled.
To disable a back-end, uncheck it. For example, if you do not want your Kopete con-
versations be indexed by Kerry Beagle, uncheck the Kopete back-end.
On the Daemon Status tab, check the status of Beagle daemon. You can stop or start
the daemon manually here. To use Kerry Beagle Search functionality, the daemon must
be running.
11.2.1 Indexing More Directories
By default, Kerry indexes your home folder only. If you do not want your home folder
to be indexed, uncheck the Index my home folder option on the Indexing tab of the
Kerry configuration. To index more folders, follow these steps:
1 If the Kerry Beagle configuration dialog is not open yet, right-click the Kerry
icon in the tray and choose Configure Kerry.
2 Click the Indexing tab.
3 Click the Add button in the middle part (Index) of the tab.
4 In the dialog that opens, choose the folder to index and click OK.
