I started with an upgrade to FC6, but after screwing around for two days
trying to get a couple of small things working, I backed up ~/ and did a
clean install. After restoring my home directory, I deleted ~/.beagle so
 that would be clean (in case there were version differences).

The search in Nautilus doesn't seem to do or find anything.
