Hey folks, I wanted to see how a live GMail search "backend" will work so here is one. It just queries GMail IMAP server directly for searching. I need some help with testing. So if you are interested in helping out and you are not behind a proxy or anything, please read on. 1. Get this and unzip : http://cs-people.bu.edu/dbera/blogdata/GoogleBackends.zip 2. Copy *.dll.* to /usr/lib/beagle/Backends/ directory 3. Copy *.xml to /etc/beagle/config-files/ directory 4. $ beagle-config GoogleBackends GMailSearchEnabled true 5. $ beagle-config GoogleBackends GMailUsername [email protected] 6. $ beagle-config GoogleBackends GMailPassword password (Yes, its stored in plaintext in ~/.beagle/config/GoogleBackends.xml) 6.a Searches by default the folder INBOX, to search other folders (labels), use the GMailSearchFolder option of GoogleBackends 7. Verify that the binary file is registered correctly $ beagle-info --list-backends (should list GMailSearch) 8. beagled --fg --indexing-delay 0 --backend GMailSearch 9. $ beagle-query query_preferably_with_few_results 10. Should work with beagle-search too, but I cant access my Gnome VM right now.
