12 beagle-query is used to search your personal information space via Bea‐
13 gle, on the command line. It is a command-line form of the beagle-
14 search GNOME program.
15
17 Search options
18 --max-hits
19 Reduce the number of search results returned per backend. The
20 default is 100. Increasing this will slow down overall search
21 speed.
22
23 --verbose
24 Print detailed information about each hit.
25
26 --cache
27 Show the entire cached text for each result. Only works with
28 --verbose.
29 Note that for large documents this will produce extremely large
30 output, so use this with uri queries or queries returning only a
31 few results Not recommended for live-queries or stats-only
32 queries.
33
34 --live-query
35 Enable live queries. This argument keeps beagle-query running,
36 continuously feeding new matching hits as the system gets aware
37 of them.
38
39 --stats-only
40 Show only statistics on the number of search results and how
41 long it took to get them, and not the results themselves.
42
43 Other options
44 --keywords
45 Lists the keywords allowed in query. Keyword queries can be
46 specified as keywordname:value e.g. ext:jpg
47
48 --help Print the usage message.
49
50 --version
51 Print the version information.
52
54 You can query for a word, several words or a quoted phrase. When sev‐
55 eral words are searched, only documents which contain all the words are
56 matched. To specify a phrase, enclose it in shell-escaped quotes
57 (\"search term\").
58
59 Besides these beagle supports an advanced query syntax. See http://bea‐
60 gle-project.org/Searching_Data#Search_Syntax for more information.
