8.4 System Settings<br />

System Settings configures network proxies, search and indexing, sessions, and sound<br />

settings.<br />

8.4.1 Configuring Network Proxies<br />

The Network Proxy Preferences tool lets you configure how your system connects to<br />

the Internet. You can configure the desktop to connect to a proxy server and specify<br />

the details <strong>of</strong> the server. A proxy server is a server that intercepts requests to another<br />

server and fulfills the request itself, if it can. You can specify the Domain Name Service<br />

(DNS) name or the IP address <strong>of</strong> the proxy server. A DNS name is a unique alphabetic<br />

identifier for a computer on a network. An IP address is a unique numeric identifier for<br />

a computer on a network.<br />

8.4.2 Setting Search and <strong>Index</strong>ing<br />

Preferences<br />

Use this module to set preferences for the Beagle search tool. On Search, click Start<br />

search & indexing services automatically to start the Beagle daemon when you log in.<br />

You can also choose the key strokes that display the Beagle search window by specifying<br />

any combination <strong>of</strong> Ctrl , Alt , and a function key, and you can determine the maximum<br />

number <strong>of</strong> results to display when a search is performed.<br />

On <strong>Index</strong>ing, choose to index your home directory (selected by default), not to index<br />

your home directory, and to add additional directories to index. Make sure you have<br />

rights to the directories you add. You can also specify resources that you do not want<br />

indexed. These resources can include directories, patterns, mail folders, or types <strong>of</strong><br />

objects.<br />
