I do not use beagle because it devours memory, but I think it reads OpenOffice. Regarding recoll, it also reads OpenOffice, is very nice <flame> and is much more featured than tracker, because it allows searching by chain, stem expansion, etc; at the end of the day, it is a KDE application, and KDE users do not mind being "confused" by features :-D </flame> :-D I hope you have humour :-D , but the first sentence is a real suggestion (investigating how beagle and recoll make it). Thank you, David
