The idea to integrate the Software Center directly is great! That way it feels like having every app already on the computer → immense lowering of entry barrier and more discoverability. > this FAsT (FAYT) search box will search not only apps but also places, > files, eventually people.. > we should find it a pretty name, that will guide us in designing it ;) > > i suggest "find as you type.." for the moment :D I suggest »Finder«. ;P No really, the FAST way is great – but where do we draw the line between Software Center search and places, files, people? I think we should do it right the first time and make a global search that integrates searching *everything* (of interest for you) on the computer as well as stuff not yet on it – such as easily downloadable apps in the Software Center. Being able to install applications on the fly could be a game changer. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
