Ok, this is going to sound really weird...
I initially could not get Strigi file indexing to work. I now have it working, though... But not really.
Here was my initial problem:
So, I went into systemsettings and enabled Nepomuk and Strigi. Strigi, however, came up with this error:
Strigi service failed to initialize, most likely due to an installation problem.
Ok. So, after some googling, I found some packages I might need, namely Java. I installed it all, and retried. Still does not work.
I remember suddenly that Strigi worked when I first installed Kubuntu 9.10, however it stopped working when I installed the full KDE desktop. So, I looked throughout ~/.kde/ for a config file for strigi to no avail. Alright. So, I start to type in HERE what my problem is, to see if there is a solution... While also looking up how to USE nepomuk search.
I put "nepomuksearch:Blender" into an Alt+F2 line...
And BAM. It started searching! I cancelled the search, and... Noticed that it was taking up 100% CPU resources AFTER canceling (well, 50%, but I go dual-core). So, I kill it... And, guess what? A plasma pop-up shows that it is... Indexing files!
But...
After several folders that I knew had content... I saw that it indexed... 0 files. Hmm... Well, guess not. So, I looked in systemsettings again, and disabled Strigi, then tried to enable it again. Same problem as initially... Failed to start.
Hmm...
Typing in "nepomuksearch:" into KRunner (Alt+F2) just comes up with:
The file or folder nepomuksearch:// does not exist.
Ideas? Help? How can I get it to work? And, how do I get it to work properly?
