"Unsearched" doesn't mean "unsearchable", it just means that it isn't
searched by default.  So anything that you can't imagine someone wanting
to type alone into the text field in beagle-search should be marked
unsearched.

I could perhaps see Version as being something that is useful to type in
and search for, so I would tend to make it a keyword.  Section, from
your example (non-free/devel) doesn't seem very useful to me.  Maybe
there are times when it would be helpful.

Description looks like valid text to me.  It should be a text field, not
a keyword.
