With the release of GNOME 2.14, three new additions to the desktop environment have come with the ability to search your Beagle index. First, Nautilus now allows users to create new searches within the file browser and save searches based on that query. If enabled, Nautilus will use Beagle for this searching. Second, a new panel applet has been included for quick searching. The panel applet, Deskbar, allows you to query Google, Yahoo! and a number of other websites in real time. If the Beagle plug-in is enabled, your files can be quickly searched using this handy tool. Finally, Yelp, the GNOME help tool can utilize Beagle for quick searching of the systems help documentation.

gnome always insists on starting beagle for me even if I unchecked that start indexing box at login. Keeping your hard drive on all the time doesn't work well on a laptop.

I've delete it from that dialog the 4th time now. It just goes back. I guess beagle isn't the problem. Anything I delete form that dialog just comes back up next time it's started.
