Hmm, so this still isn't working as designed?  Autostart should be on by
default with the files installed into /etc/xdg/autostart, and those
settings overridden by changes written to ~/.config/autostart.

Do searches work?  I think this might be a problem of beagle-search
starting before beagled and not establishing a connection right away.
Check your beagled logs for the "Sending indexing status change"
message.

This is probably because of the changes to the archive filter to only
index up to 30 items for now.  Unless this is off by a huge factor.

Unfortunately yes.  Beagle only sets up inotify watches on a directory
once it has crawled them.  Way back we used to set up inotify watches at
the start, but we stopped that because we had to walk the whole
filesystem at the start, which was punishing on the disk and slow, and
we were going to have to crawl that directory at some point anyway to
find any changes between the last shutdown and now.
