Beagle is a tool that ransacks your personal information' to find whatever you're looking for.
More technically, Beagle is a Linux desktop-independent service which transparently and unobtrusively indexes your data in real-time. For example: Files are immediately indexed when they are created, are re-indexed when they are modified, and are dropped from the index upon deletion. E-mails are indexed upon arrival. IM conversations are indexed as you chat, a line at a time. Web pages are indexed as you view them (with a browser extension).
Beagle supports many different data sources and file formats. A complete list can be found on the Supported Filetypes page.
Beagle includes a GNOME-based graphical tool for searching its indexes. It also provides programming interfaces (in C#, C, and Python) so that any application can plug into Beagle's searching and indexing power.
Using Beagle, you can easily find:documents, emails & attachments, web history, IM/IRC conversations, addressbook contacts, calendar appointments, notes, source code, images, music/video files, archives and their contents, applications... and much more.
