It is mostly static, most users I do not believe are upgrading on a daily basis or more. I know some may be but I believe this to be the exception. 2. It is system wide, not per user. Using a crawler and scheduler would mean a separate database for each user. 3. Most coding philosophy is KISS. 4. The current indexing tools must rebuild the index every time, beagle is better in that it would detect changes. I did implement the functionality in the ebuild filter since I had already written the code to create the properties just to see how it would work. I definately want the opinions of the beagle devs first though. -- Pat Double, pat patdouble com "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
