[regression]Beagle doesnt index contents of pdf files anymore

[Martin Ammermüller]

Binary package hint: beagle

Since my update to Intrepid Ibex, at least beagle-search stopped to search contents of pdf files. If i search for a word for which i know is in some pdf files, i dont get this pdf files as search results. Only matches in file names are returned. Package poppler-utils is installed.

Workaround: use Tracker.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for reporting this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better!

I've installed Beagle on Intrepid, and I couldn't reproduce your issue! I've tried to search a word contained in a pdf file and it worked great for me!

Could you please try with a fresh installation of Intrepid? Thanks

I seem to have this problem, too. Searching for a term I know is in quite a few of my PDFs it only found references in related HTML files. The PDFs titles were indexed. just not their texts.

It could be that the install is only a couple days old and Beagle might simply still be indexing as the numbers of indexed files seem quite low.

Does pdftotext manage to produce any output from the file? I've got a lot of PDFs that it doesn't seem to handle and I suspect this is why they're not being indexed.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Beagle, the search software, is no longer included in Ubuntu. Unrelated genetic analysis software named beagle has now been uploaded to Ubuntu's archives for the next version of Ubuntu. Therefore, to avoid confusion, I am closing this bug.
