About desktop search in general I think I better mention the work we've been doing over on the xdg list at fdo at this point.
DISCLAIMER: This is not directly related to the tracker inclusion proposal. We have started a project called Wasabi whose goal is to come up with cross platform specs and apis regarding desktop search and metadata storage (two different but related goals). Our work is still in flux so I wont provide any links here - those whole really want to look at it (or get involved) should head over to xdg. When we have stable proposals there will be a "hearing round" where gnome d-d-l (and other relevant parties are notified). The catch here is of course that Gnome need only decide whether or not to adopt the Wasabi specs since the "low level" apis are dbus interfaces, this way there's no need to settle on concrete technologies. The dbus interfaces will of course be accompanied by toolkit bindings when we get to that.
