By the way, when I try to extract metadata from a file using beagle, ie beagle-extract-content some_text_file.txt it gives Filename: file:///usr/home/must/some_text_file.txt Debug: Loaded 48 filters from /usr/local/lib/beagle/Filters/Filters.dll Unable to filter file:///usr/home/must/some_text_file.txt: posix_fadvise so beagle is unable to filter the file (any file contents actually, making the concept of desktop search void) because as I read elsewhere by googling 'freebsd posix_fadvise', at least as of 6.0 FreeBSD does not have posix_fadvise implemented (has only posix_madvise)? cheers, m -- --- Michael Johnson <ahze@ahze.net> wrote: > On 3/13/07, Must Karu <mustikas008@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > can anyone confirm that ports/sysutils/tracker > search > > works properly on FreeBSD?
