11.2 Configuring Kerry

You can configure Kerry by right-clicking its icon in the tray and choosing Configure Kerry. On the Search tab, keep Start search and indexing services automatically activated if you want Kerry to index your data automatically. Use Maximum number of results displayed to determine the number of results to show per page and Default sort order to determine the default order of the results displayed. They can be sorted by relevance, name, or modification date.

11.2.1 Indexing More Directories

By default, Kerry indexes your home folder only. If you want to index more folders, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click the Kerry icon in the tray and choose Configure Kerry.

  2. Click the Indexing tab.

  3. If you do not want to stop indexing your home folder, keep the option Index my home folder checked. Add more folders to the list of indexed folders by pressing Add and choosing a folder in the dialog that opens.

    To add all folders with application-related data automatically, use Applications.

    To remove a folder from the list of indexed folders, select it in the list, press Remove, and confirm.

  4. Press OK.

11.2.2 Preventing Files and Directories from Being Indexed

To exclude some folders or files from being indexed by Kerry, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click the Kerry icon in the tray and choose Configure Kerry.

  2. Click the Indexing tab.

  3. Press Add in the lower part of the dialog (Privacy).

  4. In the dialog that opens, choose a folder not to index by selecting the Folder option. Specify the path to the folder in the text field or press the folder button and choose the folder in a file dialog.

    You can also specify files not to index by selecting the File name pattern option and specifying the file pattern.

  5. Press OK.
