Satellite absorptions are identified as a general feature of Be binaries. In addition, Be + sdO binaries seem to show a characteristic short-term emission variability and short-lived shell events. The identification of such features can ease the search for further Be binaries with hot companions to allow an estimate of the fraction of Be Stars, possibly spun-up through binary evolution.
