beagle impressions

[federico <xaero inwind it>]

i finally got beagle-0.0.9 working.
it is a really powerful tool, i'm impressed

however i miss the "search over the web" feature...
i heard about Google Backend, but it is limited to 1000 queries...

does exists some documentation to write my own backend?



in addition: i am wondering where beagle (best) guess which application 
run for a specific filetype. i searched over gconf database 
unsuccessfully. i.e: i want open folders with rox instead of nautilus, 
images with gthumb instead of gimp, mp3 with xmms etc...

in addition (2): why processes launched from beagle then appear as defunct?
