If Nautilus would save the searchresults some time (e.g. one hour or until the pc is shutting down; but how long it saves the results isn't important for this idea), Nautilus would not have to search again. So it would be faster.

You know that app in the places menu, that is a really fast searching tool, and for some reason nautilus is much less effective than it, so the functionality of that app (the speed) could simply be added to nautilus.

We need a good integration of a desktop search engine into GNOME. The current situation is, that we have different search engines, that are all not very well-integrated. E.g. it would be nice, when searching a term with tracker inside a PDF file, that the search term got automatically higlighted in evince.

Also the performance and memory usage of the desktop search enignes are quite bad.

- Beagle provides fast access and gives good search results, but uses lots of memory

- Tracker doesn't provide good search results (e.g. it is not possible to search for partial terms), is not very fast. The only good thing is, that it uses less memory

Both search engines are working too much on the disk. The problem is, that the inotify framework of the kernel is not the right thing for search engines. It needs to discover all files before observing them - instead of providing a listener to all file accesses...

also after switching view (for example list view) after searching some file, it starts to search for the exact same file and the exact same results all over again: this is a really annoying and a true waste of time
