Some 0.1.0 questions

[Andreas Wasserman <lowspirit gmail com>]

Hey.

With latest release I decided to query about some things I'm missing in
Beagle or would like to see implemented :

Q: I have a large archive of movie trailers, where Beagle could be very
handy in handing me results quickly, but I rarely use beagle for this
since it seems to produce weird results depending on what I search for.

For example.
File: Total Recall.mov

I find the file using keyword "Recall" but not "Total".

File: Alien Vs Predator.mov
I find it using "Alien" but not "Predator".

Is it supposed to do that, am I supposed to know these keywords or?


Q: Window position for best, could it be saved from session to session?
first thing I do every first launch after a startup is move the window
to my prefered location.


Q: There is a feature request in bugzilla about Categories, any thoughts
on this? For me it would be a godsend, now when Best shows results by
date I usually get e-mails first and often end up having to scroll
multiple pages to get to what I want, so if I find 110 E-Mails, 2 Video
Files and 1 Audio file, having categories would even things out and show
my hit on the very first page.

I know I can search in specific categories but first of all it's a bunch
of extra clicks I have to do before doing the actual search and second
of all it doesn't cover categories, just types so I'm screwed there.


Q: Some search words (like "The Rock") throw Best into loading mode not
giving any results and making my cursor indicate it's loading until I
give it a new search word that doesn't produce this behaviour.

Best throws this exception but doesn't crash :

ERROR: Got an exception while trying to read data:
ERROR: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Argument is out of range.

That's about it.
