Hi Andreas,
 I thought I replied to your question, but looking at the Joe's reply
I dont think I did. Though there isnt any well-documented way to find
out if a file is indexed by beagle, there is a debugging tool which
can be used for that.
 $ beagle-dump-index /path/to/file
will print the indexed metadata of the file; if the file isnt indexed,
it will say so. beagle-dump-index is a debugging aid and I dont think
it is distributed with the package; it is available in the CVS
checkout. But let me be clear that simply searching for foo.rpm should
be enough in most cases (read: almost all cases) and that is the
recommended way of doing it.
