I haven't had a chance to use this yet, but having read the official blog post I had some thoughts...
It looks as though results from different apps will be mixed in together (e.g. a music result, followed by a contact result, followed by another music result etc). This seems confusing to me. Wouldn't it make more sense if there was a single result (the best match) for each app/type and then saying something like "15 more contacts..."? The order in which these types appear would depend on what the user chooses most frequently. Example results for typing in "rose": 1. Contacts: "Rose Smith" (1 more result) 2. Web Search: "Rose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" (317,000,000 more results) 3. Music: "Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction" (0 more results) 4. TheFreeDictionary: "Rose - 1. A member of the rose family..." (3 more results) So a bit like how you get one result per website when using Google Search... Typically when a user types something, he knows whether he wants to be searching contacts, web or the dictionary etc. In this case he should be able to narrow down the search accordingly. For example, he starts typing "rose" and at any point can click on the "Contacts" type to only show results from the Contacts. So the other types would no longer be searched for and would disappear from the view. Instead the contacts results would be expanded visually so that there is one contact result per result list item.
