KBeagleBar is a KDE applet that integrates the Beagle search engine into the kicker toolbar, providing a quick and easy way to search for files and documents within the KDE environment.
kBeagleBar is a useful KDE kicker applet specifically designed for Beagle users. With compatibility for beagle-0.3.0 and libbeagle1, this applet makes it easy to navigate and select results in a menu format. It is important to note that kBeagleBar sits in the kicker panel and can be easily accessed by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Space.
One of the best features of kBeagleBar is the ability to perform alternate actions by simply right-clicking on the results in the menu, similar to the right-click context menu in Konqueror. Additionally, the latest kBeagleBar package comes with another tool - beaglekontrol - that allows easy control of the beagle service. beaglekontrol is based on the code of kerry and is similar to beagle-settings of Gnome.
It is worth noting that kBeagleBar is most suitable when the user knows the right query terms so that the required result appears in the top few. To use kBeagleBar, the system requirements are KDE >= 3.4.2 and libbeagle1 >= 0.3.0. Beagle supports a rich query syntax, and kBeagleBar adds some more options to make searches even more powerful. The current release includes documentation that contains details of the query syntax.
Overall, kBeagleBar is a fantastic tool for those who use Beagle and are looking for an efficient way to navigate their results. The applet is extremely easy to use and offers many useful features.
