Beagle is a desktop search application which allows you to quickly search your documents, e-mails, photos and other files. The advantage of Beagle over the default search feature in Ubuntu (Places -> Search for files...) is that results are returned much more quickly and more types of file/information are searched for (for example, your calendar).
Beagle 是一个强大的桌面搜索工具，您可以用 Beagle 来搜索您的文档、电子邮件、相片等各种文件。它比 Ubuntu 缺省的搜索工具（位置 -> 搜索）(Places -> Search for files...) 更快，可以搜索更多的文件类型和信息(比如，您的日程表)。
See the Beagle project website for more information.

=== Kerry Search Tool Kerry（搜索工具）===
Kerry is a Beagle search tool designed specifically for KDE, and so is recommended for use by Kubuntu users instead of Beagle's default tool. However, Ubuntu, Edubuntu and Xubuntu users can still install and use Kerry.
Kerry 是为 KDE 定制的 Beagle 搜索工具，如果您使用 Kubuntu 推荐您安装 Kerry 搜索工具取代 Beagle 缺省搜索工具。当然，无论是 Ubuntu 还是 Edubuntu 和 Xubuntu 用户都可以安装使用 Kerry 。
To start using Kerry, install the kerry package. See InstallingSoftware for instructions on how to install packages.
要使用 Kerry 请安装 kerry 软件包。 如何安装软件包请参考 InstallingSoftware 得到更多帮助。
DeskBar Applet（桌面栏）
Deskbar is a search box which is always available on one of your desktop panels. Deskbar can perform many different search types, including Beagle searches.
桌面栏是位于您的某个桌面面板上的工具栏。 桌面栏能进行各种类型的搜索，包括 Beagle 搜索。
To start using Deskbar, install the deskbar-applet package. Once installed, right-click the top or bottom panel and select Add to Panel... from the menu which appears. Then, simply drag the Deskbar item to a place on one of the panels.
要使用桌面栏请安装 deskbar-applet 软件包。安装完毕后请在您的某个桌面面板上右键点击鼠标，在弹出的菜单中选取添加到面板(Add to Panel...)，在对话框中把 桌面栏 拖拽到您想放置的面板上即可。
Deskbar allows you to have a Beagle search as well as a Beagle Live search. The difference between the two options is that Beagle Live will use Beagle to search as you type. On the other hand, the Beagle search will simply display the option to launch the Beagle Search program for the text you entered into Deskbar. To use Beagle Live with Deskbar you must install the python-beagle package.
您可以用桌面栏进行 Beagle 搜索或者 Beagle Live 搜索。两者的区别是 Beagle Live会直接使用Beagle来搜索您的输入。而Beagle搜索只是显示一个选项来允许您启动Beagle搜索您在桌面栏中的输入。如果要在桌面栏中使用Beagle Live，您必须安装python-beagle包。
See InstallingSoftware for instructions on how to install packages.

Command-line tools（命令行工具）
Beagle can also be used from the command line. Click Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal to open a terminal. Type 'beagle' and then press the Tab key on the keyboard twice in rapid succession.

Applications which use Beagle（使用Beagle的应用软件）
Some applications are able to use Beagle to perform searches on certain types of file or information. Using Beagle instead of the application's own search function often has the advantage of returning results faster. Applications which can use Beagle searches often do so automatically (without your intervention) if the beagle package is installed.
有些应用软件能使用Beagle对一些文件类型或者信息进行搜索。使用Beagle而不是应用软件自己内置的搜索功能往往会更快速。如果beagle包已经安装，使用Beagle的应用软件通常会自动使用Beagle（无须您的干预）。
