Re: Null snippets

 There is a SnippetMode, but alas it's already set to true. However, in
 FilterMail.cs I found

                             // If this is the richest part we found for
 multipart emails, add its content to textcache
                             if (this.depth == 1  this.count == 0)
                                 child.CacheContent = true;
                             else
                                 child.CacheContent = false;

 If I make child.CacheContent unconditionally true (and then re-index of
 course) the results are just what I want for attachments. Snippet is still
 null for phrase searches but perhaps that's inevitable? I'm ok with my
 hacked solution, but a command-line option to turn this on would be really
 nice! Or does the logic need re-visiting?

Some of the beagle hackers has HUGE volumes of emails which was the
main motivation behind disabling snippets for emails :-). Snippets
requires caching the data which basically means a lot of storage.
Later the main email body was cached but attachments were left out ...
again fearing space problem.
So setting  child.CacheContent = true is ok.

I propose a Config option to enable snippets for emails (and warn
about the storage in the settings GUI) and turn on/off snippets for
emails (attachment included). Hopefully not too late on this one 
:-)

Thanks for your help. Cheers, Roger

When you say content correctly found, I think you mean the search
returns results but snippet is empty - right ? I don't remember this
off the top of my head, but it could be that snippets for child
indexables (email attachments) are turned off.  The magic is in
FilterMail.cs - see if there is a simple Snippet=false or
CacheContent=false and set it to true if it exists. Might just work. I
can check and come back later but I have to fix the URI problem first.

Null snippets

2009-06-10 Thread Roger Lainson

Hi dBera  list,

Many thanks for your attention to my problem of uri's with spaces. On 
another little matter ...

Thanks for your advice, but regrettably it just doesn't work: Total hits: 0.
So is this a bug? (I haven't actually found any documentation on what should
work).

Can someone tell me how to use beagle-query with the search-term being a
uri: with spaces (or other funny characters) in it? For example,
beagle-query actually returns a hit like
file:///var/SDRFiles/COMMON/Suppliers/MCS/Price List.xls - and I want pass
this back again to beagle-query as a uri: query. Tried many combinations of
 and \ and %20 but not getting anywhere!

(If you want to know why, it's because I'm using PHP on a web server to exec
beagle-query and display simple results, and I'd like a more detailed look
at the results in some cases. I get the feeling this approach is deprecated,
but it's starting to work well for indexing the server. Beagle is great!)


Escaping as %20 (and similar hex encoding for other characters) should work.
For the web-server you can try the web-interface approach. Some people
with similar requirements found the web-interface useful.



Double fault!
I was wrong about escaping and there is an extra bug.

I will try to get a patch ready in a few days.
