You probably don't want to search remote sources by default (as it could accidentally leak personal information). Admittedly, I haven't played with Best/Beagle + remote backends yet -- has some thought already gone into this?
Some examples from other systems: I've bound a hotkey on the google deskbar to search my local machine (with their desktop search tool) and I find that I occasionally send local queries to their internet search engine instead (eg: <enter> instead of <ctrl-k> ) MSN's search tool deals with this in an interesting way -- they search only the local machine by-default. To search the internet you must hit shift-enter or click a different button. This seems wise, although the implementation is somewhat irritating (there is a rather large slide-out window when the search box has focus). -- Adam Lydick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
