This is a common question asked here and the simple answer is, beagle
doesnt provide a trivial way of doing it. You can acheive it somewhat
by using beagle-build-index to build a static index on your server,
export it over some network storage and then run beagle-search in the
clients pointing to the location of the server.

This issue has been discussed here before. I can point you to one
thread nut there are many more.

Lastly, a couple of Google Summer of Code projects are in progress
which, when finished, might provide a robust solution.
